Press Reviews
"This album can be used as a solo violin book, or in a variety of ensemble combinations .... the solo violin part is from approximately grade 3 to about grade 6 and the easy parts are probably from around grade 2 level. As a violin duo this music has a wonderful folk quality. The preface gives an interesting background to the Klezmer, traditional instrumental music of the Jewish people of Eastern Europe, and performance notes for every piece. This is a welcome addition to the B&H series"
