Shpil du Fidl, Shpil: Yiddish Tango! Metropolitan Klezmer at The Cutting Room NYC

"Shpil du Fidl, Shpil" (Play You Fiddle, Play) is originally from the soundtrack of 1936 hit film YIDL MITN FIDL starring Molly Picon, who also wrote the lyrics; the song's melody was composed by Abe Ellstein. Metropolitan Klezmer performs here for our debut at NYC's Cutting Room on January 12, 2020. The band has also released two recordings of this piece on our albums: A studio track on the "Surprising Finds" CD, and a live concert track on "Traveling Show." Scroll down for full Yiddish lyrics, English translation and transliteration, also found in our album booklets. One of Metropolitan Klezmer's specialties is adapting music from vintage Yiddish cinema, including numerous tangos; this lovelorn theme recurs during the movie as the romance between Molly aka cross-dressed 'Yidl' plays out with her violinist bandmate Froym (played by leading man Leon Liebgold). Our own band's arrangement includes a unison instrumental bridge composed by woodwind player Debra Kreisberg. In an instrumental chorus, we use ornamentation inspired by the backing band on a 78 disc by a contemporary of Picon's, Menashe Oppenheim, who played the suave villain in Molly's next Polish-Yiddish screen production ["Mamele" /1938]. Videography & editing by Drew Swenson.
