Yakov Yavno "You Are Grand (Ba Mir Bistu Shein)"

Yakov Yavno's deep and powerful baritone, lush with its palette of rich overtones is a new and noteworthy example of modern performing arts, where musical drama and comedy are organically merged with choreography--where opera, Broadway musical and folklore form not a simple concert-mosaic, but rather a tightly cohesive, almost incendiary performance in which Yakov's symphonic expression of his own emotions carries any audience to the verge of ecstasy.
