This is a very soothing and satisfying album of Jewish standards from a little known quartet based in England.
Shir (which means “song” in Hebrew) offers faithful interpretations of such cultural chestnuts as “Hava Nagilah” as well as several traditional prayers, including “Ose Shalom” and Leha Dodi”.
And while countless albums before this have featured similar selections, Shir does so with passion and meticulous craft. By using instruments associated with both Europe and the Middle East , the group creates a timeless bridge between the diverse musical backgrounds Jews developed and incorporated over the centuries.
And by mixing both prayer and worldly songs, Shir offer a fuller picture of the Jewish musical experience. Topping it off is Maurice Chernick’s serene vocals, which strike a nice balance between the sacred and the secular.
Recommended for anyone looking for an easy access point into Jewish music and others who simply want a pleasing listen.
