Novum Pendulum - Klezmer lebt und lacht

Review by Giulia Marinelli

Novum Pendulum's album Klezmer lebt und lacht is a vibrant and energetic celebration of traditional Jewish music. The album features a wide range of instruments, including clarinet, accordion, violin, and percussion, all of which are expertly played by the talented musicians of Novum Pendulum.

The album's title, which translates to "Klezmer Lives and Laughs," is a fitting description of the music contained within. From the lively opening track "Tants Tants Yidelekh" to the hauntingly beautiful "Shpil Zhe Mir," the album is filled with joyful and uplifting melodies that are sure to get listeners tapping their feet and clapping along.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Der Heyser Bulgar," a fast-paced dance tune that showcases the virtuosic playing of the band's clarinetist. Another highlight is "Di Grine Kuzine," a traditional Jewish folk song that is given a fresh and modern interpretation by Novum Pendulum.
