Nigunim and Zmiros are songs of devotion and praise; spiritual Hasidic -Jewish chants whose purpose is to induce a state of piety and ecstasy in both performer and listener. Lorin Sklamberg and Frank London (of the Klezmatics) are joined by pianist Rob Schwimmer in this performance of original and traditional nigunim and zmiros drawn from the Belzer, Gerer, Lubovitcher, and Skulaner dynasties of the Hasidim. | ||
This is a unique, intimate setting forthese three musicians focusing on the intense beauty of mystical Jewish song. The Nigunim Trio has performed internationally at festivals of Sacred Song, and of World and Jewish Music. Their two CD recordings, "Nigunim" (Tzadik) and "The Zmiros Project" (Traditional Crossroads) have received critical acclaim. Ethnographers of the Jewish soul, Frank London, Lorin Sklamberg and Rob Schwimmer display a strong sensitivity to the contours of traditional Jewish music along with an original gift for personal expression. Come honor the Jewish sacred season with some of the prime musical interpreters of the tradition. |
