"Khupe's 'white album' is a wonderful new addition to the klezmer repertoire by two of its best players. The ensemble interaction is superb, and you can hear their dedication to this music in every phrase. Its not every day that you get a duo like this!"
Joshua Horowitz
Christian Dawid enjoys one of the highest profiles in the European klezmer music scene. With Budowitz and Brave Old World, he's a member of two of the most highly prominent international ensembles. In addition to teaching Yiddish music at festivals from Canada to Russia, he has also played as a guest with Frank London's Klezmer Brass Allstars and performed on many stages across Europe and the USA.
Khupe is Dawid's 'chamber music project' together with Sanne Möricke. Currently one of the most sought-after klezmer accordionists, Möricke performs regularly on stages and festivals across the world. She plays accordion with Sukke and has performed as a guest with Frank London's Klezmer Brass Allstars, The Transsylvanians, and the Northern Sinfonia.
Throughout their many years of playing together, they have carefully developed a style which is based on tradition yet continues to develop it, and which allows much room for improvisation and innovation. Khupe is narrative music, a music that is ecstatic and nimble, unadorned and poetic, serious and unsentimental, virtuoso and humorous-a wholly living music full of lightness, warmth and depth, a music that is always growing while remaining true to the music's sources.
Heymisher - the second album from Khupe - was recorded by Ralf Stahn at Studio 341 in January 2003 in Bremen, Germany. A concerted effort was made to record the group as naturally as possible with a minimum of filtering and very few edits. The sound of the recordings is highly transparent, lively, and warm - thus allowing the acoustic intimacy of the duo, their musical flexibility and natural dynamics to emerge wonderfully.
