For hundreds of years the violin has been the musical instrument most associated with the Jews of Eastern Europe. The violin, or "fiddle" in Yiddish, was the heart of the "klezmer" band as well as being the honored guest at all Jewish social occasions, both joyous and somber. Boris's skillful playing of the fiddle is richly rooted in the traditions of his Jewish heritage.This CD contains 25 of the best-loved Yiddish songs such as "A Yiddishe Mama", "Papirosen", "Belz", "Reyzele" and others.
