I do not sell recordings of my students, who are amateurs and learners
rather than professional performers. That would be highly unfair to them,
and a violation of their privacy. I don't know of any professional
recordings of Klezmer music played on recorders. 

For those who want to try playing Klezmer music on recorders for
themselves, I have published two books of Klezmer arrangements for four
recorders (SATB). These books are called "The Klezmer Recorder Band" and
"The Lower East Side Recorder Band." They are available from Von Huene
Workshop in Boston (www.vonhuene.com), Boulder Early Music Shop in
Boulder, CO (www.bems.com), and Courtly Music Unlimited in Warrensburgh,
NY (www.CourtlyMusicUnlimited.com).
