PEARLS OF YIDDISH MUSIC IN Mp3 AS RECORDED BY THE KING OF YIDDISH MUSIC

LEO FULD in Mp3

Leo Fuld was the last performer of the Yiddish popular ballads, who´s career started well before the 2nd World War and ended short before his death in 1997. In 1938 he hit Broadway and recorded and performed with well-known artists like Frank Sinatra or Edith Piaf. Just a few moths for his death he performed with the Algerian rockgroup Railand and recorded ´The Legend´.

 

Never before Yiddish music sounded so oriental as on The Legend, produced by Mohamed el-Fers and arranged by Kees Post. The Legend was so refreshing after decades of being earnest and very serious about the almost lost heritage of Yiddish music.

Although that great CD itself might be hard to get, due to distribution-problems. Official it was in Europe distributed by Music and Words from Utrecht, the Netherlands, but strange enough, they don´t even list it on their internet-catalogue. We gonna ease that pain by giving you some of those masterpieces in Mp3, with thanks to producer Mohamed el-Fers and arranger Kees Post.. It is more than just great pearls of Yiddish music what Fuld recorded a few months before his death and we like to share this with you!

So, two of those great songs of the last CD of the late Leo Fuld for free. But there are 15 beautiful tracks on The Legend. Due to distributionproblems this great album is hard to get. We are very sorry but that´s how it is. But somewhere out there, there must be a record-company who is interested in this very fine and historically important recordings by the King of Yiddish Music. If you know a company who is interested, please, do not hesitate, make The Legend aviable again to the world and contact direct to the producer Mohamed el-Fers

King and Queen

Her Royal Highness Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands was extremely happy that the King of Yiddish music presented her a few months before his death his last recording. During his last television-show, Yiddish singer Fuld was accompanied by the Algerian musicgroup Railand.

 

During World War II, while Fuld was living in the U.S., he lost nearly his entire family. Until his death he was not able to discuss that topic with his remaining sister and nieces. In his simple apartment in Amsterdam, the singer was still writing songs and felt all but lonely: "I never get tired of my own company." In the last year of his life, at the age of 84 he recorded what is considered the Sgt. Pepper of Yiddish Music: The Legend. History is understood, more fully comprehended, through the pearls of Yiddish music as sung by the truly great interpreter of the genre: Lazarus AKA Leo Fuld (1912-1997).
