Great YouTube videos 

Misha Elman who has to most beautiful and warm tone on the violin.
Itzhak Perlman with whom I had the remarkable opportunity to study in New York and who is as fabulous in klezmer music as he has ever been in classical indeed.
My childhood friend Eszter with whom I danced hora since we were 10 and recently she just recorded an album of jewish songs from around the world. "Duet for Piece" is one of them. Enjoy!
