Cantor David Berger
Chalamti Chalom - I Dreamt a Dream
A collection of Jewish peace songs in Hebrew, English, and Yiddish. The music ranges from secular to sacred, cantorial to broadway, and from art songs to popular melodies. This fantastic CD was the result of years of great music making with the incomparable Joyce Rosenzweig.
Hegyon Libi - The Meditations of my Heart
This CD of original compositions and new adaptations of traditional melodies is the embodiment of my vision of 21st century Jewish worship. Embracing Sephardic, Ashkenazic, Israeli and contemporary spiritual styles, Hegyon Libi is simultaneously new and deeply rooted in traditions going back centuries. It features guest musicians Joyce Rosenzweig, Cantor Beth Garden, Jon Hyman, and Marla Leigh.

Refuge: Art Songs by Jewish American Refugee Composers
Each of the composers whose music is included in this CD came to the United States as refugees fleeing anti-Semitism. In America they found refuge. Their contributions to American-Jewish music (and American music more generally) are manifold. For most of the pieces presented here, this is the first recording, and it is our honor to make them available to you now. These songs deserve to be heard and to take their rightful place in the canon of American Art Song. They represent a vital part of the story of American-Jewish music. They give testimony to the spirit and creativity of the refugee composers who crafted them.
