"There are two really interesting recordings on this topic: 1. Muszikas, The Ghosts of Maramaros or just Maramaros, this is Hungarian Jewish Music reclaimed from sons and daughters of the original musicians and composers--usual guest the now famous Marta Sebastian 2. The Arhoolie/Folklyric label has a Vintage Klezmer music recording based off the collection of some guy who collected records--most of the records had been burned by the Nazis and these are some of the few that remain---great stuff old 78's-nice and crackly hope this helped...JP" How about that? The first one is the album I couldn't remember. |
I told my mom what you reported, and she squealed "ooooh, we have to get that!" so we did a search on Amazon.com and found the Muszikas collection for sale ($12.99, and it will be here in 2-3 days). Yay! The music that Justin referred to in #2 we *may* have found -- I did a search for the Arhoolie label, and the only thing on their roster that looks like it fits the description is this: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000DBU0/qid=946943048/sr=1-194/104-8553597-8554004 Could that be the Vintage Klezmer he's talking about? |
