"The recording's greatest virtues are the selection of songs and the well-tailored folkish arrangements. The duo presented songs from various genres: songs which are rarely sung and even more rarely recorded. This is the first time this reviewer has heard the songs "Zing, Brider, Zing" (Sing, brothers, sing) and "Birobidzhan." The melody for "Birobidzhan" is utterly beautiful and the piano and fiddle twine in and out, with delicacy... Peppler composed a fine original melody for the folk song "Hob Ikh Mir a Mantl" (I Have a Coat) and added a new verse to the song "Gris, Bagris" (Greet, greet).... Since the majority of CDs today emphasize klezmer music, and not Yiddish songs, it's a pleasure to hear a recording which expresses such love of Yiddish word and song." -- Itsik Gottesman, Forverts, Nov. 11, 2010
