Soveles by Soveles

In this important and wonderful new recording, Isabel Frey and Esther Wratschko take a deep and profound dive into the archival world of women’s unaccompanied traditional Yiddish singing. They bring the songs effortlessly into the present, suffusing them with their own contemporary soundscape and sensibility, yet fully embracing the essence of traditional style. The synchronicity of their singing is extraordinary. Wratschko and Frey express the musical pulses and gestures, the ebb and flow of the songs as one. It is a sheer pleasure to hear two voices interwoven so seamlessly and so beautifully.
