"Oytsres", the seventh production in the "Jewish Music Series" edited by Rita Ottens und Joel Rubin, contains many of the musical personalities described in their book "Klezmer Music" (Bärenreiter/dtv), the colorful social history of Yiddish wedding and celebratory music spanning centuries and continents.

These rare, mostly historical recordings are all issued on CD for the first time and stem from the National Sound Archives (Jerusalem), the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research (New York) and Gratz College (Pennsylvania), as well as from the archive of DeutschlandRadio and private European collections. - "Some of the best digital remastering I have ever encountered."
