Various hollerers do their thing here, but the extraordinary thing to my ears is the similarity of these southern mountain folk and the tumbrel, multi-octave throat-singing of Tuvan singers, who also hail from inhospitable mountain country.

On par with these musical pioneers in the Yiddish world was klezmer clarinetist Dave Tarras. Composer, musician, teacher, orchestra leader: Tarras fulfilled all these roles and more. His individual performance style transcended his own playing and came to epitomize the genre as a whole. His ensembles had a distinctive sound and feel regardless of what sidemen were passing through the band at the time. His compositions were stylistically unique and helped to transform and update the old repertoire and establish a new musical language. And finally, his very personal music came to be appreciated-and played-by people from outside his community.|10/12/98 0:00:00||||| 763|Klezmer - Various Artists||YAZ 7002|Classic Cantorial Recordings 1907-47|14.49|"It wasn't a song I had ever heard before and I couldn't understand the Hebrew words but I knew he was singing about all the sadness in the world.

Centuries ago, fiddlers in southern Poland's isolated Tatra Mountains developed a singularly rough, though sophisticated, dance and vocal music of their own. Some of these musical highlanders were sheperds whose fiddles were carried from the villages to the mountain peaks each spring, where the sheperds played for themselves as their sheep grew fat. Karol Stoch was an exceptional Tatra Mountain fiddler who migrated to Chicago in 1926. Soon he was making the records which would preserve traditional highlander music for generations to come. His performances have since been cherished, studied and emulated from his time to our own.|10/12/98 0:00:00||||| 765|European - Various Artists||YAZ 7013|Polish Mountain Fiddle Music, Vol.
