In the past decade the Budapest Klezmer Band and the Ferenc Liszt Chamber Orchestra have proved in their joint concerts that the melodic world of the instrumental music of the Ashkenazic Jews of Eastern Europe and an ensemble consisting of the clarinet, piano, accordion, trombone, violin, double bass and percussion can be successfully combined with the sound of the classical orchestra. Ferenc Jávori's Klezmer Suite has become part of the repertoire of both ensembles, and has scored notable success both in Hungary and abroad. The printed edition made the work accessible for other ensembles as well. The movements can also be performed separately.
