Thanks for your worm wards on "Sulam".

You are right that the "Sulam" CD it is not only clarinet concert, but
it has an overall musical value. I want to point that on planning a concert
with your group, you have to give a stage also to the other musicians in the
band, and that what I have done. "Sulam", was not only a band of 5
musicians, but it was also, a concept of how to approach Jewish music which
is not only the East-European klezmer music, and how to perform it. We live
in Israel, and the Land of Israel has its own klezmer-music tradition,
that didn't suffered the holocaust. In my other CDs the clarinet is more
dominant.

Today was certainly a musical day for me.

Moshe Berlin's "Sulam" was in my mailbox this morning. I had ordered
it because Moshe --- is it proper to address you as Moshe, Moshe? If
not, please accept my apology --- mentioned that he and his
compatriots played it without written music. Moshe didn't mention that
apparently "Sulam" is the first CD that he ever recorded.

"Sulam" is equally divided between clarinet, flute, and fiddle with
piano & percussion parts. So it's not just clarinet. The flute and
fiddle parts are top notch also. The songs have a much wider variety
of styles and colors and tempos and moods than I expected to hear on a
"Klezmer" album.

I do recommend "Sulam" for it's overall musical value, not just for its
clarinet interest.
