Also known as: Belf's Rumynski Orkestr
According to The Klezmer Shack:
About all we know about this is that they now appear to have been Ukrainian, and recorded some wonderfully florid klezmer tunes that continue to be prized. The 30-some sides also comprise the largest block of early recorded European Klezmer. Jeffrey Wollock summarized what little we know of the band in his lovely "European Recordings of Jewish Instrumental Folk Music, 1911-1914," (ARSC Journal V28, N1, Spring 1997).
Unfortunately it's very difficult to find their recordings today but you can download some tracks from "the virtual home" of their recorded works. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
