Formed in 1987 by trumpeter-composer David Buchbinder, the Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band has captivated audiences throughout North America and Europe and has become something of an icon in the ensemble's native Toronto. Based in traditional Yiddish klezmer music of Eastern Europe married to modern elements of popular music, the Flying Bulgars' sound is an outrageous brand of jazz-folk that is at once celebratory, irreverent, and grandly stimulating. Tsircus, Yiddish for "circus," is the band's fourth recording and finds the group digging deeper into its Jewish roots while reaching well into the next century. The music is expectedly theatrical: strings weep and soar, horns tittle and blare, accordion creaks and dances. Vocals range from aggressive narrative to tender verse to boisterous refrain while piano and drums create an intriguing interplay of syncopated rhythm and melody. A rollicking good time, Tsircus is all at once the sounds of a wild family reunion, a wedding, a wake, and a union meeting crossed with a carnival. --Paige La Grone

Beyond Klezmer.......2004-09-14

I love the klezmer style of syncopation in minor keys -- it seems to say, "Life is tough all over, but what the hell, let's dance." Tsirkus takes the art form to a whole new level. I not only hear and feel the music -- I also see it. I wish I were a choreographer so I could design a dance for the title piece: full of tension and longing, yet brazenly confident -- the dark, beckoning side of the circus life. The clarinet and saxophone solos are fantastic, and David Wall's voice is exquisite.

10 Stars.......2000-02-10

I bought this CD sight unseen, only by looking at the byline. And I can already tell it's one of the best CD's I ever purchased. I've never had any Klezmer music, having only seen a Klezmer band on New's Year's Eve (in Santa Cruz). OY VEY! You don't need to be Jewish to appreciate this stuff! C'mon people! Get out and BUY IT! You won't regret this purchase. (N0, I don't know the band personally). If you enjoy Miles Davis, chances are, you'd like this too.

Tradional klezmer... most of the time.......2000-06-21

The Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band is as fine an example of well-played, traditional Klezmer you're likely to find anywhere, featuring excellent musicianship and a tight link to what Klezmer should be... most of the time. But rest assured that when the exception comes, there isn't a soul in their right mind that would object. 'Der Rebbe Elimelekh' is sung in Yiddish, with the vocalist displaying classic Yiddish 'oi veying' and one well placed 'who give a shmeck', and also featuring a truly humorous dialogue between the vocalist and the solo fiddle. 'Alle Brider' is even more adventurous, including a jazzy latin-style trumpet solo; drum solo, and very hip piano solo, as well as some more always-welcome Yiddish chanting and general carrying on.

This CD features enough of a variety to please any fan of Klezmer and Yiddish music, but also includes plenty of very traditional, but still exceptional, music, and never gets lost in the humor or the creativity.

A Musical Expression of Truth: Closing the Circle.......2002-12-03

This CD expresses many of the hopes and feelings of people throughout Eastern Europe (whether or not Jewish, it doesn't matter): for peace, justice, & happiness. It ends with an eery haunting, ecstatic Chassidic tune, which can be traced back to a yeshiva student from southern Slovakia, who heard it in the Yiddish theater in Vienna between WWI & II, this song alone is worth the price of the CD. Other tracks on the CD contain musical expressions (without vocals) of these feelings, the most astonishing and fantastic klezmer rhythms & music ever played: on a wailing clarinet, saxophone, & sometimes taragato, with occasional accompaniment on a piano, or at times the trumpet, alto horn, or fluegelhorn take top billing (sounds a lot like a Macedonian, Romanian, or Serbo-Croatian Brass band at times, which is a very good thing!). The sincere and yearning Yiddish vocals by Allan Merovitz are an pure pleasure to hear. Some tunes arise from Russian origins ("High Noon in Volgograd"), one is a sea song, the lyrics of which were written somewhere between 1075 and 1141 by Yehuda Ha-Levi while the music and translation are from the early 19th century.

This CD is jam-packed with presence and spiritual reality, derived from oral tradition and musical apprenticeship ... a treasure chest of discoveries from the past. "Bukoviner Freylekshs" one of the tracks, most likely arose from Croatia or Serbia - from areas known today as "Bukovina". The Yiddish tunes arise from many sources, the liner notes credit Rabbi Eisik of Kalev, 200 years ago adapting Hungarian shepherd's songs, which have become "among the most popular in the hasidic repertoire" ... I have yet to discover what songs and tunes these are but I am diligently searching. They add "everyone knows where they came from and no one seems to care". The beauty of this statement is the recognition that truth is universal. Music is one great expression of it: it is something all people, regardless of religon or beliefs can agree upon. Let the dancing begin: listening to this CD, you will be brought to your feet (& possibly compelled to sing in Yiddish, too). Tremendously enjoyable liner notes inlcude: an inroduction discussing the origin of the word, "Agada" & excellent background information about klezmer music and the circle connecting it from past to present, a brief sentence or two about each song/music, and the words in Yiddish and a translation for those of us, that always want to know ... all-in-all compelling lyrics and music to match!! A JEWEL, A GEM OF A CD ... KLEZMER MUSIC AT ITS VERY BEST! Erika Borsos (erikab93)

If you like modern-style Klezmer music, such as produced by the Klezmatics, you will love this Canadian production. The various pieces have an amazing variety in mood, instrumentation, and style. Both the instruments and the vocals are superb. The best CD I have heard this year.

Great album by a fresh face in klezmer.......2006-05-22

First, the Flying Bulgars are good musicians; that comes through whether this particular album were klezmer or something else.

But this IS klezmer and that's half the fun.

They've mined archichival klezmer vaults and brought a variety of styles to light. They've then played some of the music straight up from its roots, and added more modern twists and turns of their own to the rest.

Klezmer, and the heart of authentic Yiddish art, live on in this album.

Note; I have three of their albums and a fourth on the way. From the two I just got, I would rate this as the best overall.
