This is a wonderful collection of klezmer music, inspired by the Jewish dances and songs of the klezmorim from Eastern Europe - from the lyrical HORA to the fast, compelling FREILACH. Some of the pieces have a second part ad libitum - for playingtogether or for variation in a repeat. For the accompaniment, chord symbols have been added and on the included CD there are complete versions as well as play-along versions of all pieces, played live by genuine klezmer musicians.

Een prachtige verzameling klezmermuziek, ge nspireerd op de joodse dansen en liederen van de klezmorim uit Oost-Europa: van de lyrische Hora tot de snelle, meeslepende Freilach. Ook de invloed van de nieuwere Israëlische volksmuziek la Giora Feidman is hoorbaar. Sommige stukken hebben een tweede stem ad libitum - voor samenspel of ter afwisseling bij herhaling. Voor de begeleiding zijn akkoordsymbolen toegevoegd - en op de bijgevoegde cd staan van alle stukken mooie demo- én play-along-versies, die live zijn ingespeeld door rasechte klezmermuzikanten.
