Chava Alberstein's Yiddish Song Collection

(4 out of 5 stars)
"This is a WONDERFUL CD. The only reason I have given it 4 rather than a 5 star rating is that her later recording of most of the same songs is more mature, with more feeling. However, there are songs on this CD that there on not on the later one.
I read and understand Yiddish fluently, and have been trying to get friends to love Alberstein's Yiddish songs as I do; however, her recording companies have not been including lyrics, transliteration or translation, with the exception of The Well, which she did with the Klezmatics, another great CD.
Don't pass this one up; get both and compare for yourself.
