KLEZMER World Music
As one of the world’s foremost authorities on Klezmer, the American Yale Strom brings his wealth of knowledge and experience to this volume. In addition to his extensive historical and performance notes, Yale Strom provides arrangements which will immediately transport violin players into the world of Klezmer with its unmistakeable melodies and sound patterns. Instructions on the improvisation of ornaments are provided. The CD, featuring an authentic Klezmer band, provides a fully recorded demonstration and play-along version for violinists and serves as a wonderful introduction to this vital, joyful and sometimes melancholic music which is currently enjoying a huge revival.
Yale Strom: The Silver Crown, and Dorohoi Khusidl • Traditional: Ma Yofes • Romanian Hora • Stoliner Nign
Yale Strom was a pioneer among klezmer scholar-musicians in conducting extensive field research in Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans among the Jewish and Rom communities. Initially, his work focused primarily on the use and performance of klezmer music among these two groups. Gradually, his focus increased to examining all aspects of their culture. His klezmer field research helped form the base for his two klezmer bands, Hot Pstromi in New York and Klazzj in California. This research has also resulted in 9 published books, 6 films, and 9 CD recordings.

Violin Duo
UE33652 • $17.95
A tango superstar, Gardel is perhaps today best known for his Por una cabeza, the sumptuous tango featured in Scent of a Woman,True Lies, and Schindler's List. Collatti's violin duo arrangements also include El dia que me quieras and Mi Buenos Aires querido, which are far more popular outside the U.S., along with two more! A tango must for violinists.
Igudesman is, without question, a showman of the violin. His performance style is all about FUN, and the perfect match to that style is the music of Ireland and Scotland. Here he presents 10 Celtic classics in fairly authentic arrangements for violin duo, an excellent choice for the fast jigs or for mimicking the drone of the bagpipes. For the accomplished students who want to break out!
Klezmer. We love it, but what IS it? Igudesman honestly states up front that he simply doesn’t know, then goes on to explain why, perhaps, we’ll never know. Klezmer is a dynamic, living form of music in a constant evolution. For this fascinating collection, Igudesman goes back to the earlier times in Eastern Europe for inspiration and style cues. And what better place to start than a Klezmerized Hava Nagila? Klezmer and More - for two violinists looking to break out!
