Dave Apollon Hungarian Rhapsody
Dave Apollon was one of the greatest mandolinists of the 20th Century.
He was a Jewish immigrant from the Ukraine who was a master of
classical, Hungarian, Romanian, Klezmer,
Latin, and jazz styles.
In this clip we see Apollon perform with his Manila Orchestra from the Philippines. They seem to be using a variety of mandolin family instruments, including the Spanish Banduria.
From the collection of Scot Wise.
