Reviews and Recognitions:
"All the orchestrations have been based on sound scholarly research and to my ears they sound just right." —Jonathan Woolf, MusicWeb.uk.net
"Whether influenced by operatic, American music hall, Yiddish theater, vaudeville, or cabaret models...there is enough on this program for everyone to find a favorite and to derive many hours of listening pleasure." —Jerry Dubins, Fanfare
"These songs tell of the happiness of true love, the joy of Passover, a pride of religion, sadness in remembering bygone days. Very touching, very idiomatic of the great days of the Yiddish Theater in America.... The many artists sing with deep feeling and easily draw us into the stories of which they sing.... I found the music and the words together provided a most heartfelt experience." —King Durkee, Copley News Service
