Was googling the New York Jewish musician Matus Lichtenstein (c.1865–1940) whose name came up in my research and I found this 1928 recording I'd never heard before by his Matus Lichtenstein's Kunst Orkester. Interesting. Sort of #klezmer, sort of #Hasidic #nigunim played in a mainstream orchestral style.

After an editor removed a bunch of uncited info and left his article with some major gaps, I made the time this weekend to rewrite the biographical sections of Moshe Beregovky's #wikipedia article.

Beregovsky (1892-1961) is the most important academic of #klezmer music, #Nigunim and #Yiddish songs, and did research during the Soviet period which would be impossible to replicate today when the generations who remembered the late Russian Empire period are long gone.😌📚

This just crossed our Facebook timeline, very cool upcoming album of women singing Chabad nigunim (give the preview a listen!!)
