About "Kovacs: Sholem-alekhem, rov Feidman!" by Alessandro Carbonare
Carbonare channels klezmer’s ghost through his clarinet, Kovacs’s ‘Sholem-alekhem’ a wailing, celebratory cry. The melody laughs and weeps in the same breath—a joyous dance on a precipice, where exaltation and sorrow intertwine like old friends.
