  "...spare, emotionally intense and well-played and
  conceived... a klezmer equivalent of the
  period-instruments movement in classical music"
  -George Robinson, NY Jewish Week

  "...a welcome and lovely recording of a repertoire
  that is new to most klezmer fans"
  -Ari Davidow, The Klezmershack

  Elie Rosenblatt & Pete Rushefsky are two of the
  leading performers of klezmer music's next generation.
  Their new CD, entitled Tsimbl un Fidl:  Klezmer Music
  for Hammered Dulcimer & Violin, is rooted in the
  earliest recordings of Jewish klezmer music from the
  first decades of the twentieth century.  Changing
  musical tastes and recording technology paved the way
  for clarinets and jazzy brass bands to dominate
  American klezmer music.  However, the pairing of
  tsimbl (hammered dulcimer) and fidl (fiddle or violin)
  formed the nucleus of the older, folkier European
  klezmer style.    Alternatively mournful and raucous,
  Rosenblatt & Rushefsky provide the perfect soundtrack
  for your neighborhood Polish tavern or village dance.
