Johannes Brahms- 75 Songs Anthology
This purchase was smooth and easy. Shipping came in sooner than expected. The book is great and easy to read, with poetic translations to each song.

buy this for the music, not the enclosed CD
The piano accompaniments on the practically useless CD included in this book are so ridiculously slow and ploddy that even TRYING to sing along becomes an exercise in patience rather than anything remotely pleasant or productive.In terms of book content, the patter songs are favored here, and it's nice to have so many in one volume.While it's nice to see The Sorcerer represented with three songs, they could have chosen more (and better) from Gondoliers, Ruddigore and Yeomen, which get one each, and they could have at least included something from Patience and Trial.

Where is the table of contents>?
Who in the world would purchase a folio of songs without a list of the contents?I mean...how ridiculous. Here it is...all great songs. Pity Amazon didn't feel it was important enough to include.

Yonath (born June 22, 1939) (Hebrew: , pronounced ) is an Israeli crystallographer best known for her pioneering work on the structure of the ribosome. She is the current director of the Helen and Milton A. Kimmelman Center for Biomolecular Structure and Assembly of the Weizmann Institute of Science. In 2009, she received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with Venkatraman Ramakrishnan and Thomas A.

However, she said herself that there was nothing special about a woman winning the Prize. Yonath was born in 1939 in the Geula quarter of Jerusalem. Her parents were Zionist Jews who immigrated to Palestine before the establishment of Israel and her father was a rabbi. They settled in Jerusalem and ran a grocery, but found it difficult to make ends meet. They lived in cramped quarters with several other families, and Yonath remembers "books" being the only thing she had to keep her occupied.Despite their poverty, her parents sent her to school in the upscale Beit Hakerem neighborhood to assure her a good education. When her father died at the age of 42, the family moved to Tel Aviv. Yonath was accepted to Tichon Hadash high school although her mother could not pay the tuition.
