New release September 2005 - Giora Feidman DVD - Will make a surprising unique gift! Only available from JMD world wide!

Released on 26th September 2005, a DVD by the award winning director Uwe Scheffler, who took up the challenge of visualising the complex spirit of Klezmer music. With almost no spoken commentary he followed the melodic strands from the Logensaal to the Jewish synagogue in Cracow, through Auschwitz and Birkenau as well as to the Holocaust memorials in Israel. Feidman brought in an eclectic mix of musicians; the Jewish artist Dan Rubinstein created drawings to enrich the musical-visual reconstruction of the Jewish German past. Feidman is one of the great Jewish musicians of our time, and is known internationally for his achievements in reviving the Jewish tradition of Klezmer music. Tracks include Kiddush, Tanz, Summertime (Gershwin), Schindler’s list, Ave Maria (Schubert), and many other fascinating tunes.
