Overview
Beregovski’s Khasene presents a fascinating collection of forgotten instrumental treasures from the Ukrainian Jewish musical tradition. The Joel Rubin Jewish Music Ensemble brings to life the rich and vibrant melodies that were once part of Jewish weddings and celebrations in Eastern Europe. The album is dedicated to the work of Ukrainian-Jewish ethnomusicologist Moshe Beregovski, whose research preserved many of these traditional pieces that are now brought to a global audience.
Through intricate performances on instruments like the clarinet, cimbalom, accordion, and violin, the ensemble captures the emotive power and spirited joy of these Ukrainian Jewish wedding tunes. Each track is steeped in nostalgia and reverence for the cultural heritage of the Jewish community in Ukraine. The ensemble skillfully blends classical Jewish klezmer with traditional Eastern European influences to recreate a world of music that was once a vital part of Jewish life in the region.
