Our Take

Review: Theodore Bikel's latest album, "Theodore Bikel Sings a Collection of Jewish Folk Songs," is a delightful romp through the rich tapestry of Jewish musical tradition. From spirited klezmer tunes to haunting ballads, Bikel's velvety voice weaves a captivating spell that transports listeners to a bygone era of shtetls and bustling marketplaces. The album kicks off with the lively "Hava Nagila," a festive celebration of life and community that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Bikel's dynamic delivery injects new life into timeless classics like "Tumbalalaika" and "Shalom Aleichem," breathing fresh energy into these beloved songs. But it's not all upbeat anthems and toe-tapping rhythms - Bikel also showcases his emotional range on slower, more contemplative tracks like "Eli, Eli" and "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav," evoking a sense of longing and nostalgia that tugs at the heartstrings. Throughout the album, Bikel's impeccable musicianship shines through, with each track expertly arranged and performed with precision and passion. The lush instrumentation, featuring traditional folk instruments like the violin and accordion, creates a rich, immersive listening experience that is sure to captivate audiences of all ages. In conclusion, "Theodore Bikel Sings a Collection of Jewish Folk Songs" is a must-listen for fans of Jewish music and folk traditions alike. Bikel's warm, engaging vocals and impeccable artistry make this album a true gem in the world of world music.
