“There are other recordings of Hemsi’s settings, for voice and piano, of these traditional Sephardic songs, but even without undertaking a detailed comparison, I have no doubt that this is the most valuable set. It is comprehensive, extremely well documented and – perhaps most important – the vocalist is female (and a fine singer). … Goldstein and Nemtsov are the perfect pair for this project, bringing to it not only their musical skills, but also relevant experience (not least of working together) and scholarship. … The work of pianist Jascha Nemtsov is exemplary, inflecting Hemsi’s writing for the piano with just the right Spanish ‘flavour’ (at times the sound is reminiscent of de Falla) and the link between vocalist and accompanist seems to operate at the level of intuitive empathy. … In other respects too, the documentation accompanying these discs is superb. … The lengthy and difficult research undertaken by Alberto Hemsi, and the work he put into setting these 60 songs were obviously motivated by his love of his Sephardic inheritance, an attempt to create a new wholeness for something broken and scattered by exile. It is also clear, I think, that for Tehila Nini Goldstein and Jascha Nemtsov recording all of these songs was a labour of love.” (Glyn Pursglove)

“For more than 3 hours, Jascha Nemtsov’s piano accompanies with delight and virtuosity the powerful and lyrical voice of the soprano singer Tehila Nini Goldstein, in a repertoire which blends the main genres of Judeo-Spanish poetry. … Written by Jascha Nemtsov, the 104 page booklet that comes with the CD box set is quite remarkable. … A CD box set you can listen to all year long.”
