Yiddish Glory tells the extraordinary story of folklorists from the Soviet Union who risked their lives to collect songs from Jewish soldiers of the Red Army, Jewish refugees, victims and survivors of the Ukrainian ghettos. These songs have now been rediscovered and brought back to life after 75 years in unmarked boxes in a basement of the Ukrainian National Library. They were written during the darkest chapter of Jewish history in Europe, some of them written directly before the deportation, one of a ten-year-old orphan, expressing despair, hope, humour, courage, resistance and revenge. Sergei Erdenko, Russia's most famous Roma violinist and long-time musical partner of Yehudi Menuhin, has now re-recorded it with an ensemble of the best virtuosos from the world of folk, klezmer, Roma music, classical music and jazz. The 17 songs go beyond the klezmer genre and redefine the performance of Yiddish music in the 21st century. Since Itzhak Perlman's klezmer performances in the 1990s, Yiddish music has not been performed to such a high standard.
