eliott: An interesting point of view. Klezmer against a whole country's music from classical to modern, old and new. Better than HIM, better than Jean Sibelius, better than Värttinä, better than Olavi Virta, better than Kaija Saariaho, better than Nightwish, Apocalyptica or Einojuhani Rautavaara;-)
