Description: This has the complete public television performance special plus the following extras: widescreen capability, Dolby 5.1 audio, more music from Kitka, Davka, and Kitka & Davka not included in the television broadcast. DAVKA: The wildest, most unhinged drum solos I have ever witnessed... It's a rock show with pyrotechnic grandeur, just without the rock or the pyrotechnics. -- Rob Harvilla, EAST BAY EXPRESS Davka's four musicians whirl their spells with a supple interplay of violin, cello, bassoon and percussion. Their compositions and improvisations, swirling around a center of enlivened klezmer melodies and pulsing Middle Eastern rhythms, weave a dancing, winding path through the diversity of Jewish cultural and historic experience... -- Jerry Karp, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE KITKA: Simply amazing harmonies...truly this is the most wonderful singing I have ever heard. -- David Crosby, CROSBY, STILLS, AND NASH The singing of KITKA was tangy, excellently in tune and verbally communicative. -- Andrew Porter, THE NEW YORKER Culture and music can transcend the boundaries between religions. That's something that we really need for coexistence. - Leonard Merrill Kurz Awards include: the Accolade Award of Excellence and Best of Show at Youngstown Area Jewish Film Festival. It's a joy to hear the beauty and feel the cultural richness of Kitka & Davka in Concert, an attractively composed presentation of old and new Jewish music. While the production is obviously lifted by the power and depth of the music, it's the skill of the filmmaker and production team that brings the experience to life. Most concerts on film are boring; Kitka & Davka succeeds as entertainment. That's a high compliment. Viewers will also appreciate that the music is placed in historical context and that interviews are included as a extra. -- Thomas Baker, Ph.D., Chairperson, The Accolade Award Shrink-wrapped
