Давольно редкий CD (в интернете к примеру ещё не гулял) .. очень хорошей Klezmer группы из Winnipeg, Canada... :)
(я взял тут в библиотеке .. и сделал "работку" - для вас ... в 320 :D .. а себе ещё и WAV файл оставил тоже (для престижа типа)))

Отличный коллектив!
Один клиент на Амазоне сказал про них (и этот CD) .. что "это наилучший Klezmer CD, что он слышал за последние 20 лет!!" :D
(Смотрите ниже.. в цитате)

Так что .. Рекомендую! .. - я уже послушал .. весь CD - Отлично!
Не пропустите!

Ещё скоро должен получить / достать их другой CD "Finjan - Crossing Selkirk Avenue" (который я когда то рипал с юзованой касеты и уже выставлял) .. и тоже рипнуть в 320 ;)

P.S. Качайте на здоровье .. и наслаждайтесь / Enjoy! :)

"5 Star... - Best klezmer CD I have heard in 20 years, April 12, 2000
By A Customer

This CD is a real star. There are many original pieces or variations on traditional pieces, that grab you immediately, and entertain you throughout the song. At times it sounds like Finjan is traditional village band thrown into the 21st century. The quality of the recording and excellence in musicianship are apparent from the first note. I would highly recommend this albumn for your own listening pleasure or as gift for both lovers of Klezmer and World music or newcomers to this genre. This is by far one of the best Klezmer albumns I have heard in a long long time and I wouldn't be surprised if it was nominated for a Grammy. A real diamond in the rough.

Album's Review @ klezmershack.com:

Finjan
Dancing on Water
Rounder Records 11661-3160-2, 2000

One of the first bands reviewed on these pages was Finjan. I first saw them at a klezmer festival in San Francisco in the mid-90s, and loved their music and diversity, but I'd already encountered an early LP ("Ship to Shore") and loved that already. Best damn version of "Vladivostok" of the klezmer revival, I say. Like the Klezmer Conservatory Band, or Australia's Klezmania, they combine an infectious blend of well-played klezmer, with a smattering of Yiddish folk and theatre tunes to leaven the mix. In the case of Finjan, what is unique is the fun, and the sly hint of bluegrass that they must practice all throughout the frozen winter, staying warm in Winnipeg :-).

Since that time, I've run into Finjan members in a profusion of other settings, jazz, yiddish, klezmer. Most notable, perhaps, is the "From both ends of the earth" ensemble comprised of members of Finjan, Toronto's Flying Bulgars, and jazz pianist Marilyn Lerner. But, after a very, very long wait, here is new recording Finjan material. It is worth the wait. From the opening two clarinet attack on a new dance tune, followed by the most amazing clarinet/soprano sax trilling on "Bukovinska Polka," leading almost immediately into the violin wizardry of "Hora Staccato," credited to gypsy violinist Grigoras Dinicu and recorded by Jascha Heifetz, the band proves that it is still a traditional klezmer band, but one that has also, in traditional klezmer style, absorbed the best of the music around them. They also capture a perfect "Haneros Halalu," with the now-familiar Romanian violin doina taking the place of the cantor's voice on this once-traditional Hanukkah piece, which then flows into the title tune, a wonderful slow dance based on the concluding theme.

Dazzled as I was by the instrumental virtuosity of the band, I didn't notice how few vocals appear on this album until "Harbstlid," a song by Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman, which also appears on the recently released Yiddishland recording of her music (to the best of my memory). But I do very much enjoy Shayla Fink's voice, and am glad to hear Beyla's music performed, and performed so well. Beyond that, of course, what more can I say except that this is the first klezmer band with the good sense to latch on to Israeli pop star Yehuda Poliker's excellent instrumentals, in this case, "Stories of Times Past." I was not familiar with this particular melody, but Poliker's roots are in the Salonika sounds that represent both Sephardic Jewish folk instrumentals and bridge to klezmer on the other side. It's a good way to close the circle.

As I said, this is well-worth the wait. In fact, it would have been well-worth the wait if the band hadn't felt the need to wait eight years since their last record. Perhaps, now that they are being distributed by Rounder, we'll have less to wait before they blow our socks off again. In the meantime, for now, I'm a happy camper. And, of course, if you don't have any of the band's previous albums, don't forget to stock up!
