In celebration of its 36th anniversary, the Zamir Chorale of Boston has issued its first “Greatest Hits” compilation. It’s the famous “Zamir mix” that has been delighting audiences for nearly four decades.
On this CD you will hear some of Zamir’s most popular numbers: big band crossover hits “And the Angels Sing” and “Ba Mir Bistu Sheyn”; Shabbat songs “Shalom Aleikhem” and “Eshet Hayil”; liturgical favorites by Rossi, Lewandowski and Finkelstein; Israeli and Yiddish folk songs; David Burger’s passionate Zionist anthem “Tikvateinu”; and even our signature rock ‘n’ roll versions of “Dayenu” and “I Have a Little Dreydel”.
