Heaven on Earth
06/11/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Excellent! Outstanding percussion, rhythms, and melodies combined to create inspiring and emotionally-charged music. An eclectic mix of traditions reflecting various musical ethnicities, arranged beautifully by lead singer Basya Schechter. Her talent, beauty, and capabilities are carried out through the plethora of instruments that can soothe, invigorate, and enliven. Tracy Love soars to great heights on the wind instruments. Martha Colby brings passion and artistry to her cello, especially in her solos. Benoir's playfulness creeps into each song with a different flavor each time. The percussion is driven with great zest and verve, molding itself to the shape of each piece. For any fan of world music, or looking for a taste of something new and for all occassions, this is a definite CD to add to the collection!"
Pharaoh's Daughter: simply the best !

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the album that Brooklyn-based Basya Schechter was born to make - reverent, intelligent and exciting settings of classic Jewish liturgy and folksongs with superb backing by her own band and a distinguished group of guests including Anthony Coleman and Matt Darriau. From a haunting "Hevel" through a niggun created from a West African melody, from a eerie "Eicha" through the best new "Lecha Dodi" I've heard in years, a powerhouse "shnirele Perele", "Ija Mia" a wonderful Ladino closing - well, there simply isn't a false step. A bone fide, genuine, gilt-edged masterpiece."

"Ever since I bought this CD at the Elat Chayyim Jewish Renewal Retreat Center in the summer of 2001, I've been listening to it constantly. It gets me dancing - I love the rhythms and the sound. Can't wait to see the band in person."
