Israeli clarinetist Michal Beit-Halachmi received her obviously first-rate musical training in Israel and America (her mentors include Eva waserman-margolis, Howard Klug, Mark Nuccio, and Charles Neidich). Her March 2003 debut in an unusually long concert at Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall was a thrilling experience. Beit-Halachmi is one of those live-wire musicians who not only plays with pristine and exciting exactitude, but also has the knack and foresight to surround herself with equally distinctive colleagues. Her superb concert held my attention from start to finish.
