I suspect that the person you saw on TV was Georghe Zamfir.  He is a
Romainaian who is currently touring the US.  The guy's speed and control is
just amazing.  Although his recent "easy listening" stuff is a sell-out, his
original native folk music contains some of the best solos that I have
ever heard anywhere... the clarity, the coloring, the control while bending
notes is awe-inspiring.  I once had a ethno-musicology teacher who
called him one of the world's greatest musicians.  Unfortuately, he seems
to have stopped producing these folk albums and it is harder and harder
to find them.  He now does covers to famous music soundtracks and things
like that.  I was once in a train station in Paris and heard one of his
songs over the musak.  He is much more popular in Europe than here.
