This review is from: Klezmer Celebration (Audio CD)
This CD has a surprising range of tracks on it. There is for exaple the very jazzy version of "happy birthday" that is just easy listened to, amongst others. On the other hand though, and that is what makes this CD so exceptional, there are these songs that talk of the jewish culture and the very special spirit it has. A spirit of graet pride and joy that always bears a touch of melancholy, even sadness, tells of loss. Fascinating is that Feidman tells us these stories soley through his clarinete, he is truly an exceptional player, not so much playing it but singing through it. Worth every single penny. Singular.
