Giora Fiedman’s Argentine-Russian-Jewish wedding
by Habitus · 02/22/10
Here’s a lovely performance from Giora Fiedman, an Argentine-Israeli musician. Born in Buenos Aires to Ukrainian parents, he emigrated to Israel in 1957. At 21, he became a member of the Israel Philharmonic. Fiedman also contributed clarinet solos to the Schindler’s List score.
Here he is playing with the Gershwin Quartet, who are all Russian born. Their new collaboration is called Klezmer and Strings. They write:
Aside from the classical repertoire of chamber music, the artists have created a program that corresponds with the musical roots of the artists, their virtuosity, passion and delight in playing and unifies the expressiveness of the famous Russian school for instrumentalists with the South American spirit of the “King of Klezmer” at the same time.
