4.0 out of 5 stars Warning - In the Fidler's House Re-release, October 6, 2010

This review is from: Perlman Plays Klezmer [CD + DVD] (Audio CD)

A word of warning: this 2-CD set appears to be a re-release of the "In the Fiddler's House" and "Live in the Fiddler's House" CDs. I like both those CDs and I'm sure this one is fine also, but I wouldn't buy it if you have the originals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glimpse into a great musician's learning process and experience joyous music, October 26, 2010

Listening to the music on the CDs was a joyful experience but I truly loved the DVD included in the set.
It deepened for me the historical perspective of this music as it was experienced here in the states. I enjoyed but wanted more of the tiny glimpse into the Klezmer experience in the old country where Klezmer is said to have been born. As a student of many arts, I esp. liked observing how Mr. Perlman, a serious and well trained musician, deepened his understanding about Klezmer.
This DVD is for anyone who loves beautiful music and or Jazz.....
For anyone with a Jewish or Polish background,it will deepen and change your experience when you hear a great many performances.

Perlman is a wonderful classical player, and he does a pretty good job with this music. At times, the music is excellent, but at a few places he sounds like a classical player playing Klezmer. Not a bad recording, but only get it after you have already purchased the other wonderful Klezmer cds available.
