Re: Chassidic Classic with Giora Feidman

[Moshe Berlin <moshe_berlin...>]

Carlebach grew into the Jewish culture and tradition. He was known to the
variety of the musical traditions in every Chassidic dynasty. So, he could
develop his own musical interpretation to the Baal Shem Tov's way.
    On the other hand Feidman is a bit outsider to klezmer tradition. Though
he was born to a family of klezmers (his father and grandfather were famous
klezmorim), his musical education was classic. About 30 years ago he was
exposed to klezmer music(Both: the east-European and Israeli), and like a
Meteor he jumped from the Israeli-Philharmonic into the world-wide concert
halls playing his interpretation to klezmer tradition. The results are clear
now.
