Beyond Recall: A Record of Jewish Musical Life in Nazi Berlin, 1933-1938

(11-CD box set plus DVD and 400-page hardcover book) After Hitler's seizure of power in 1933, every memory of the sound & voice of Jewish artists was to be consigned to oblivion in the same way as the Yiddish language. In this set, priceless sound documents have been rescued & restored. Some of these titles recorded in Berlin were released in Palestine from 1934-36. The repertoire is wide, and includes classical music, Yiddish comedians, German cabaret, Palestinian folk songs, and above all, cantorial singing of enormous eloquence. The DVD contains the sound film Hebrew Melody (previously believed to be lost and now presented here for the first time) featuring violinist Andreas Weissgerber. The deluxe 400-page hardcover book is presented in both German & English.
