Itzik, given the evolution of klezmer music (starting with
the changed induced by recording it, in the first place,
and continuing through the klezmer revival), =surely=
there is a way to express your preferences without being
insulting.

The fact that you seem to have a one-dimensional view of
klezmer based on dated, distorted (consider how the music
was changed simply to record it within the time limits
available!) implies some limitations on your part that
could be seen as encouraging less willingness on your 
part to get personal and insulting to someone else.

Have a good shabbos, and may Kandel be with you,
