Ensemble DRAj - Lieder Aus Den Ghettos

Review by Transcriptions services

Ensemble DRAj's album, Lieder Aus Den Ghettos, is a moving tribute to the resilience and creativity of Jewish musicians during World War II. The album features a collection of songs that were written and performed by Jewish composers and musicians in the ghettos and concentration camps of Nazi-occupied Europe.

The ensemble's performances are powerful and emotional, capturing the spirit of the songs and the experiences of those who wrote and performed them. The musicians expertly blend traditional Jewish melodies with elements of jazz, blues, and classical music, creating a unique and haunting sound that is both beautiful and haunting.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Tsu Der Kretshme," a song that was written by the Yiddish poet and songwriter Mordechai Gebirtig while he was living in the Krakow Ghetto. The ensemble's rendition of the song is both haunting and uplifting, capturing the resilience and hope that characterized so many Jewish musicians during this dark period of history.
