| | Yikhes: Early Klezmer Recordings, 1911-1939 - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | These early recordings of Naftule Brandwein, Dave Tarras, Josef Solinski, Leon Ahl, Abe Schwartz, Joseph Moskowitz, and many others on this 18-track retrospective reveal the deep and ancient roots of the Lineage Stammbaum. |
 | | What is also so notable about the first volume is how the reputations of Naftule Brandwein and Dave Tarras prove, even in these early pieces, not to be the stuff of myth but even more substantial than the accounts would have us believe. |
 | | One listen to "Rumenishe Doina" by Brandwein, with it's stop and go rhythm and searing clarinet solo, is enough, but then Tarras' "A Rumenisher Nighn" is a ride through the mountains of Romania on a fast horse as his clarinet triple times the violins keeping rhythm. |
