about

Cembalom Solos, also called "Cembalo," "Cymbal" and "Dulcimer".

Cembalom virtuoso Joseph Moskowitz (Yiddish: יאָסעלע מאָשקאָװיטש) was born in 1879 in Galati, Moldavia and learned to play cimbalom from his father. Moskowitz was already a well-known musician in Eastern Europe when he emigrated to New York in 1907. He performed in his Romanian wine cellar on Rivington Street on the Lower East Side, portrayed in Michael Gold's 1930 proletarian novel, "Jews Without Money". He was a recording artist in New York City during the first half of the twentieth century. A descendant of a family of klezmer musicians, he was among the most well-known American cimbalom players of his time, and had a wide repertoire which included not only Jewish music but also Romanian, classical, and ragtime music. He died in Washington, DC in 1954.

All the recordings in this compilation are from 1916 (January - July) in NY, USA and according to DAHR, Joseph Moskowitz was the primary performer - instrumentalist.

Photograph used on cover is Joseph Moskowitz, circa 1910s.

Click removal, normalization and some EQ mastering applied to each track carefully in order to preserve the hundred plus year old production and the passing of time.

These media files are in the public domain as their first publication occurred prior to January 1, 1926, and if not then due to lack of notice or renewal. 1tracktape does not treat this audio material as its own. Based on recording dates and sources from centennial gramophone records, it presents this material that belongs to its creators. All additional work done is dedicated to the public domain.

All tracks taken from digitized 78rpm shellac records.

Compilation producer: Dimitris Tsironis / Δημήτρης Τσιρώνης (aka melophobia / μελωφοβία), Thessaloniki - Summer 2022.
