CLARINET QUINTETS ON JEWISH THEMES

Kloecker, Dieter;
Vlach Quartet

CPO 999630

"The audiophiles. The nine quintets on hand are compositions by Ashkenazi Jews from Eastern Europe, almost all of whom, however, emigrated to the U.S.A. Mind you, these are not the currently very current klezmer music, but compositions rooted in late Romanticism, strongly influenced by special harmonic-melodic-rhythmic elements of Jewish folklore.klöcker and the phenomenal Prague Vlach Quartet succeed in an almost breathtaking way in making this very own musical cosmos resound. A gripping musical event from the first to the last note!"• stereoplay 11/99
