  • Ladino Reverie
    author: Joyce Ben-Ezra

    A wonderful interpretation of these precious Ladino songs. In addition to Mr. Botton's magnificent voice, his clarity of pronunciaton of the lyrics makes this album even more valuable.

  • Sensitive presentation of Landino Folk Music, professionally produced.
    author: Richard David

    This album is truly a classic. It brings to life the folk music of the Safardic Jew. Its obvious Mr. Botton was raised in the classical tongue of Landino, as well as being full of the passion that propels the music into a heartfelt expression of faith.

  • A delightful authentic Ladino presentation
    author: Jaclyn Chernett

    This is a genuine Ladino collection of songs by a highly experienced Hazzan who grew up with Ladino in his ears and his soul. It is a delight for anyone wanting to hear the real thing!

  • Buy this very important CD!

    This CD is very important as an authentic representation of these very beautiful and meaningful songs. Vocally, these works are warm and rich. Cantor Botton is a treasure as both an aritst and a resource for this music, and this CD is necessary to any collection of Ladino and Spanish-Judeo music.
