CLASSIC CUISINE

David Krakauer: Master of myriad styles.

whose performances reached from
work with the Naumburg Award-win-
ning Aspen Wind Quartet to pianist
Rudolf Serkin at the Marlboro Festival.
But "my experience with jazz and
my love of improvised music wasn't
being satisfied that much in the late
1980s, and I decided I had to do
something creative and improvisatory
again. That's how I got into klezmer
music."
For about a year, as Krakauer
was learning klezmer, he played it
for fun and felt closer to Judaism.
Appearances were at small parties and
low-key gigs, some at Jewish commu-
nity centers.
Then "the Klezmatics heard about
me, and I played with them for about
eight years:' the clarinetist recalls. "We
toured around Europe and made two
recordings. I made another [klezmer]
recording with Itzhak Perlman, and
around the same time, in the late
1990s, I recorded a big piece with the
Kronos Quartet. That's when I decided
to form my own band."
The band keeps Krakauer on diverse
stages, with recent performances
at Stanford Lively Arts, the Venice
Biennale and the Saalfelden (Austria)
Jazz Festival.
In the world of classics, he recently
has worked with the Tokyo String
Quartet, the Orquesta Sinfonica
de Barcelona and the Brooklyn

Philharmonic Orchestra.
Krakauer performed music writ-
ten for him by Osvaldo Golijov for the
BBC documentary Holocaust, a music
memorial from Auschwitz, which won
an International Emmy in 2005. A
guest artist on tour with the Emerson
String Quartet in 2005, he will be fea-
tured with the Orion String Quartet in
2007.
On the teaching circuit, Krakauer is
on the clarinet chamber music faculty
of the Manhattan School of Music, the
Mannes College of Music, the Bard
College Conservatory of Music and
New York University.
Divorced with two grown children,
he is preparing for an October wed-
ding very much in tune with his musi-
cal interests. The bride-to-be, Marissa
Byers, is a clarinet player and dancer.
"I'm always looking for passion in
music and trying to find the best way
to express myself' Krakauer says. "I
think that klezmer music is so direct
and vocal that it certainly has influ-
enced the way I play the classics." I I
