Nekhama Lifshitz is a popular
Yiddish singer in Russia. She
has appeared in con c e r t s in
several European countries and
has received acclaim for her
interpretation of many popular
folk themes.
Nekhama has a birdlike
coloratura voice. It is so un-
of the American public.
A group of her recorded
songs, appearing on a disc made
in the USSR and distributed in
this country by Collectors Guild
(507 5th, NY17), brings the
popular singer to the attention
usually thin and sharp that it
takes a bit of time to get used
to it. But after hearing the first
few songs the listener will be
glued to the record player await-
ing the forthcoming tunes from
this able singer.
Her "Reizele" with which she
opens the group of songs on the
first side of the record has a
traditionally Yiddish folktune
intonation.
The five other songs on that
side are delightful. They include
Yash, Der Vekhter, A Balade
Vegn Mutter, Viglid, Yomtev-
dige Teg.

Katerina, which commences
the selections on the second
side, at once enchants the
hearers. The Kat Rina of this
song recalls an old melody
that has been popular among
Russian Jews. Similarly in-
teresting on , that side are Frey-
likhe Shhaiderin, Mame Shlog
Mikh Nisht, Grine Bleter,
Oyfn Veg a Boim. With Lomir
Zilch Iberbeten, Nekhama con-
cludes a truly excellent ac-
cumulation of Yiddish folk-
