Live and kicking tradition
Nigel Williamson gets into the swing of the Jewish Musical Festival
...Schechter has proved himself one of klezmer's most charismatic stars.
...Last week his Klezmer Rhapsody for clarinet and orchestra,
specially commissioned for festival by the Jewish Musical Heritage Trust,
was premiered at the Barbican.
...Schechter's clarinet conveyed the full gamut of human emotion, sometimes melancholic and sobbing, at other tomes uplifting as it picked up the giddy tempi of Yiddish dances.
...This week Schechter took over Islington's Union Chapel without the orchestra but with his five-pies Klezmer Festival Band.
