Sidor Belarsky Sings...the Hopes and Dreams of the East Side
JSA Home Album List View Album Next
Like most other country, the history of modern Israel is written in the songs of its people. Through years of travail and final independence, the modern Jew has developed a medium of expression without restraint, an expression of a fullness and richness attainable only in music. In these songs, Sidor Belarsky's performance describes a voyage from darkness to light, for which the Jews have long striven - an ideal we can all appreciate and understand.
