Gimpel’s Lemberg Yiddish Theatre, 1906-1910

Gimpel Yiddish Theatre in Lemberg along with fascinating short biographic portrayals of the artists and brief but detailed descriptions of the songs. The quality of the album is high because of great and well-trained voices (sometimes nearly operatic) of such theatre stars as Pepi Littmann, Leon Kalisch, Jacob Fuchs, and Isaac Deutsch, among others. All of the twenty-five songs on this CD, thanks to careful restoration, won back the shine of their original sound. Many of them, like “Oyfn pripetshik” (“On the Cooking Stove”) or “Freytik af der nakht” (“Friday Evening”), became so famous that they attained the status of anonymous folk songs and the names of the composers (in this case, Mark Warshawsky and G.Z. Weismann) almost disappeared from the history of Yiddish music. Particularly precious, from the historical point of view, are recordings such as the original “Yidl mit zayn fidl” (“Yiddle with his Fiddle”) and one of the earliest recordings of the national anthem of Israel (previously the Zionist anthem), “Hatikva” (“Hope”). The song following “Hatikva,” “Dort vo di Zeder” (“Where Are the Cedars”), based on a poem written by Isaac Feld, was considered by the first Zionist Congress to become an Israeli anthem for a while. Its melody is clearly inspired by the “The Internationale.” Another interesting song is “Di vokh fun Pesach tsayt” (“Passover Week”), set to the melody of Shields and Evans’s “In the Good Old Summertime,” published in New York at the beginning of the 20th century. It demonstrates the influence of American culture on European Yiddish theatre. It has to be mentioned that most of these songs were very flexible in terms of the lyrics and melody, which underwent frequent changes while crossing the borders of time and space. The CD closes with the only existing recording session of the prominent Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem reading fragments of his prose.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Fair, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to F), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the multiple item discount!

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless another service is requested. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials

As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.

If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.50 – 5.00$

2 records: 5.75$

5 records: 7.50$

10 records: 9.50$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 30$.

Please send me a message if you would like to lower your shipping rates!

International Buyers:

I am very happy to ship records worldwide.

Please use the EBAY shipping cost only as a guideline. My actual charges are usually lower

International shipping: approx postage 1x10"=$25: 1x12"=$35: 10"Album 4 Rec=50$: 12" Album 2 Rec=50$
