Joseph Rumshinsky & Other Songwriters of His Circle
This third volume of songs from the heyday of popular Yiddish musical theater, radio, film, and vaudeville centers around one of the leading avatars of Second Avenue, Joseph Rumshinsky. Unabashedly sentimental and entertaining, these songs reflect such typical themes as nostalgia for the Old World, the pains and joys of adjusting to life in the new land, and famous comic routines.
Reviews and Recognitions:
"...cherishable...wonderful examples of pieces that entranced audiences in Yiddish theatres on Manhattan's Second Avenue during the first half of the 20th century...funny, nostalgic, tragic.... Every song grips in some way." —Donald Rosenberg, Gramophone
"...the music...in this volume...deserves a long and healthy life. Kol kavod to Neil Levin and the Milken Archive Project for producing this outstanding volume." —Aaron Howard, Jewish Herald Voice
"You're guaranteed a hearty laugh and a good cry." —Jerry Dubins, Fanfare
