With theaters up and down the street, every night you could see the great performers of vaudeville and listen to Yiddish operettas and musicals whose songs endure to this day. Yiddish music is both ecstatic and soulful—the songs are catchy, the melodies haunting, and the overall effect exhilarating! Great Songs of the Yiddish Theater evokes a bygone era of songs our grandparents knew, awakening memories of a language that carries within its very alphabet the joys and sorrows of its people. The repertoire includes music by Abraham Ellstein, Sholom Secunda and other great composers of Yiddish song.
