5.0 out of 5 stars Fiddler's House, June 1, 2007

By	New Klezmer Fan - See all my reviews

I had the privilege to work on this production as post-production supervisor. The whole project was an unforgettable experience. (I was also able to participate in the portions of the program that were taped in New York.) The photography is beautiful, particularly in Krakow and environs, and I can tell you that the care and sensitivity that went into the writing and editing is very evident in the final result. And by this I include the invaluable contributions of Mr. Perlman to the whole project as well. It was a subject dear to his heart and to many other project participants (other musicians, etc.) and this came through in the overall tone of the film.
