I wish someone could tell me where I could purchase more of this amazing young mans voice singing with such a glorious sound and a brilliant soulful interpretation of his music, Im sure he being older now would be even better than he was then so please inform me of where to find more of him..anyone!
Soul transcends Sefardic or Ashekenazic, Goyische or Yiddische. Beauty of feeling, fluidity of expression, is the essence of this performance, and the essence of the music itself. We all yearn for whatever it is we remember, whatever it is we lost.... And that yearning is captured in this performance, and this song....
He has impressive stage presence for someone so young. It's interesting to note that in this performance he sang very lightly using head resonance. Today he often 'chimes in' with his choir with impromptu harmonies in falsetto and/ or trumpet sounds with the same kind of voice.
Balti is a city in Republic of Moldova, fomerly the Besserabia region of Romania. The song is part of the Romanian nostalgic musicology style called "Doina", reminiscing on the happier times of (in this case) Romanian-Jews in the country of origin. Please also see Rumania Rumania, and Besserabia composed and performed by Jewish diaspora musicians in Yddish, with Romanian folkloric overtones.
