Itzhak Perlman: In the Fiddler’s House / Klezmer (CD Album)
UPC: 724355555526
Overview
America’s preeminent violinist Itzhak Perlman steps off the concert stage to immerse himself in the spirited world of contemporary klezmer. On In the Fiddler’s House, Perlman curates and performs alongside leading ensembles—Brave Old World, The Klezmatics, The Andy Statman Klezmer Orchestra, and The Klezmer Conservatory Band—bringing renewed vitality to traditional Jewish dance tunes and modern compositions. Recorded at The Hit Factory, New York (August 6–9, 1995) and produced by Steven Paul with Michael Alpert as Executive Producer and Musical Director, this 72‑minute collection captures klezmer’s rich textures, emotive clarinet klezmer nigns, driving rhythms, and Perlman’s signature tonal warmth.
