Album Description
A beautiful collection of great Jewish Music. Classics by Ernest Bloch and Max Bruch, mixed with rarely heard gems by Maurice Ravel, Zavel Zilberts, Jacob Wasilkovsky, and David Meyerowitz. "Wie Shlecht es is Ohn Gelt", a Yiddish Theatre gem, is alone worth the price of admission for its mixture of pathos and humor. The songs by Zilberts are an important and beautiful part of the Jewish music legacy that must be heard.

Review
“…exceptional control as well as an outstanding gift of communication, his performances of Schelomo, Kol Nidre, Kaddisch, and the excerpt from Baal Shem can hold their own with the likes of Rostropovich, Ma, Rose, Fournier, and Starker—elite company indeed.
Highly recommended for Locker’s highly involved, warm, and technically masterly readings.'

"The cello piece is so beautiful and so dramatic that.. If God were to cry, the sound of the tears hitting the Earth would sound like Kol Nidre.
