    Couple of weeks ago I was walking around Cork City in Ireland and came upon an old Romanian man playing this music. I recognized it and sat across from him listening for probably around half an hour and then went to give him a few coins but he wasn't collecting so I started talking to him and asked if he was from Romania and that I'm familiar with the music he was playing and asked a little about Klezmer. He was so happy that I loved his music, I really think it made his day. :)

    How does klezmer music ha e that delicious quality of longing? It's the same thing I hear in gospel music and Irish folk music, but not much else. A feeling of trying to make sense of life, as it comes, but at the same time it tries to emphasize the struggle for something indefineable. The daily and the sublime. Beautiful.

      Probably all those cultures share histories of oppression, loss, and suffering. Their histories are ones that speak to an irredeemable aspect of human nature, which is cruelty, but their music stands on that history and sentiment, while also diffusing it with musical expressions of optimism or, at the very least, defiance.

    Thanks for asking. The Jewish or "klezmer" doina is one of about 7 or 8 types of Romanian doinas. There are structural and stylistic differences from other types of doinas, as well as differences in the context in which it is performed. But there are also doinas from other countries in the Balkans. Its not exclusively Romanian, and its very much influenced by the music of the Ottoman empire.

    An almost vibrato free (or VERY restrained vibrato) performance, and therefore especially beautiful. So when vibrato is used, it is highly effective and emotional. The ever present mechanical vibrato-every-note that most violinists are trained for leave me unimpressed (except as regards the technique it takes to do it, which is quite an accomplishment). "Normal" vibrato would completely cover up a lot of the subtle ornamentation being used here. So nice to hear a trained violinist who uses the entire violin range, with an approach to playing (particularly minimizing the vibrato) that reminds me of really top quality traditional fiddle playing in any genre. It's not the strings he uses, its the fact that his playing sounds much more in tune than the playing of the average heavy-vibrato-everywhere violin soloist of otherwise similar technical ability. This performance is proof that "dry" notes played on the violin have all the power and beauty anyone could want. Rant terminated.....

    • @DanielHoffmanViolinist
      @DanielHoffmanViolinist  8 лет назад +24

      +John Wetzel thanks John for the generous comments! In my opinion the use of continuous vibrato developed in the Western classical style as a way to produce a louder sound as well as a sound that cuts through considerable volume of an orchestra. But somewhere along the way, vibrato became used ALL the time, even when not needed... and you're right about the tuning thing- as a "vibrated" note is actually a range of pitches. For me its just another expressive tool, among many, to be used or not depending on the situation... anyway, thanks for noticing!

Whether it's the sweet, melancholy doinas, or the lively, energetic sirbas, the sound of it really resonates with you, and connects you with your roots and your heritage. Coming from this East European gentile born and raised here in the US, that was BEAUTIFUL. Thank you and good luck on your upcoming CD :-)
