(or Klezmer)
There are at least two early recordings of instrumental versions of Kol
Nidrei-- by Leon Ahl (violin) and by Max Yankowitz (accordion). They are
available on compilation tapes from Kurt Bjorling. Excuse the shameless
self-promotion, but Elie Rosenblatt performs a beautiful rendition of Ahl's
Kol Nidrei on our album "Tsimbl un Fidl: Klezmer Music for Hammered
Dulcimer and Violin," which of course is available from Simon at www.hatikvahmusic.com.

Thanks Sam. Listening to it right
now. My research has shown that Kol Nidre means very different things
to different people and that is certainly reflected in this selection.
And it's precisely the sort of thing (without either Kol Nidre or Yom Kippur
in the title) that I wouldn't know but for your help (or if I listened to my
whole record collection).

this group help with Yiddish songs (or klezmer music) that quote the

Flying
Bulgar Klezmer Band's album "Fire" has an arrangement of Abraham Reisen's
poem about the ravages of war ("Milkhome," sung by Adrianne Cooper) with
the band's playing of Kol Nidre as a prelude, interlude and
postlude. Frankly, I am somewhat disturbed by the implications of
the arrangement, i.e. the association of Kol Nidre with death and
destruction.
