| "Those already familiar with the Sabbath singing of piyutim will find much that is familiar here: lovely sacred poems set to Turkish (in this case) music. The music is well-performed by the Maftirim Chorus, and the voice of Hazan Aaron Kohen Yaskak is one that should become more familiar to everyone already familiar with, say, Emil Zrihan. Those unfamiliar with the sanctuary offered by the Ottomans to Jews after the expulsion from Spain (and prior, after the Almohades conquered Spain and introduced an intolerant strain of Islam that ended the Golden Age and drove Jews north into Christian Spain, or East) will be pleasantly surprised to find Jewish compositions in the style of the Ottoman culture--Jews integrated deeply into the surrounding and initially welcoming culture. Those who are familiar with Ottoman music will be pleased and intrigued to hear it in a religious Jewish context, and performed so well...." - from a review in Klezmer Shack |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
