Regarding Giora Feidman and Sabine Meyer: forgive my ignorance (since
I'm still a newbie on the clarinet) but what would be good, representative
recordings on the above folks? I'm acquainted with Klezmer, but I know
very little about its history or its main practitioners, especially
clarinetists. Considering I found Don Byron because of this list,
I take your recommendations *very* seriously and will no doubt rush
down to Tower at the first opportunity to purchase said recommendations.
BTW, I am vinyl-ready if CDs don't exist. Media is no object!
