Artist: Various Title: The Hasidic Niggun As Sung By The Hasidim (2 CD Set w/ Book) - Various Chassidic Category: Cantorial-Chassidic

Order #: 01373 Consisting of a 2 CD Deluxe edition with 160 page hard cover book in Hebrew and English, this wonderful compilation consists of Chassidic tunes, nigunim, from the various Chassidic communities in Israel. These ÔfieldÕ recordings were made at actual weddings, bar-mitzvot, and other celebrations. Most of the selections are performed without instrumental accompaniment except for a few at wedding ceremonies. An especially unique selection (Disc 2, track 3) ÒMarchÓ is credited to Mendel Brichot and his Daughters and was recorded at the dedication of a private home, which is not a traditional Chassidic event. From the Book: ÒThe recording proves conclusively that the prohibition on hearing a woman singing is not understood in its strict sense in Chassidicsociety, but depends on circumstances...He (Mendel) liked to sing the Sabbath table zemirot together with em, and only rarely were they asked not to join their father, or to sing along with him only Ôsotto voceÕ Ó.This package is another in the series by The Jewish Music Research Center in Jerusalem and as with all their recordings a true documentary of the rich heritage of the Jewish committees. A very important production.
