Jewish Music Reviews
This page covers reviews of CDs/albums of principally Jewish music of any and all kinds. Sometimes, this may also include, for example, an album by a Jewish musician or musicians of non-Jewish music that may however be of particular interest in the context of general Jewish music, or an album of say classical music that includes music by Jewish composers and that may be of particular interest in the context of general Jewish music.
In addition, live gigs, concerts etc. of Jewish music of any and all kinds are reviewed when possible, normally with photographs from the event.
All reviews presented here, unless otherwise stated, are by Renaissance Man and are Copyright © Renaissance Man/Rainlore. All rights reserved.
Reviews are listed in alphabetical order, that is, alphabetical by artist's or principal/first named artist's surname, or by band name (ignoring definite or indefinite article), then album title; in the case of "various artists" type compilations, listing is alphabetical by album title (ignoring definite or indefinite article). Classical recordings are listed alphabetically by principal/first named soloist/performer, orchestra/ensemble, conductor, then composer/principal composer and work/principal work or title of album. Dates given on this page are the date of the actual review, not the release date of the album. (Dates are always in international format, i.e., YYYY/MM/DD.)
Each review also presents all factual information available, such as release date, label, catalogue number, track list, credits, etc., as well as where relevant, information on purchasing e.g. directly from the band/artist where albums are marketed directly. In addition, there are usually links to the artist's/band's own web site and/or page on this site.
Sometimes, reviews may originally have been posted to the Jewish
Music Mailing List and may have been adapted or edited. These are clearly
identified as such.
