The CD’s repertory includes traditional klezmer songs arranged in Bulgach’s own inimitable style, as well as tunes composed by the likes of legendary klezmorim Max Epstein. There are also two original tracks, including Librescu Tango, an uplifting dance written by Bulgach in memory of Liviu Librescu, a Holocaust survivor murdered in the 2007 Virginia Tech Massacre.
Professor Librescu, a Romanian Jew, was shot while barricading a gunman out of a room from which his students were escaping. "The great courage he showed in the final moments of his life inspired me to transform the anger I felt at the time into a beautiful melody, a dance song" says Bulgach. "The survivors of the Holocaust are always showing us the way to live correctly and courageously."
