New York Times Gives Nod to A Fine Romance at Lincoln Center
Music to Our Ears was the Lincoln Center American Songbook (1/27) concert of songs from David Lehman’s A Fine Romance, which was profiled and reviewed in the Wall Street Journal online, The New York Times, WNYC Soundcheck, and Time Out New York. Performers included Rufus Wainwright, Van Dyke Parks, and surprise guest Sting!
In his New York Times music review of this special concert, Stephen Holden says of David Lehman’s A Fine Romance: “A Fine Romance by David Lehman (Schocken Books, 2009) is an appreciative, scholarly study of traditional popular song that goes into considerable and enlightening detail about the intermingling of black and Jewish popular music, primarily from the first half of the 20th century.”

Jewish Encounters Sweepstakes
Click here here to sign up for the Schocken e-newsletter and automatically enter a contest to win a copy of the newest addition to Schocken/Nextbook’s Jewish Encounters series. Already selected as one of the “Best Books of 2009″ by Publishers Weekly, RASHI, by Nobel Peace Prize winning author Elie Wiesel, introduces us to the towering figure of Rashi—Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki—the great biblical and Talmudic commentator of the Middle Ages.
Both beginners and advanced students of the Bible rely on Rashi’s groundbreaking commentary for simple text explanations and Midrashic interpretations. Wiesel, a descendant of Rashi, proves an incomparable guide who enables us to appreciate both the lucidity of Rashi’s writings and the milieu in which they were formed.
Good luck!
