RE: Feidman

Steve,
I did listen to Clarinet Tango and didn't care for it at all. I lived for a long time in Buenos Aires and am married to an Argentine, and I also love tango. Clarinet tango was too classical for me -- like Placido Domingo singing tangos or Jose Carrera doing the Misa Criolla. I can't take this kind of music, although I recognize the artistry. I suppose my question boils down to this (which you have partially answered): Is Feidman an authentic Klezmer player, and if not, can your suggest a few clarinetists who are. I did try playing some Feidman arrangements of Klezmer from sheet music, but I haven't a clue about interpretation.
