Fanfare Reviews "The Entertainers"

THE ENTERTAINERS- Andrej Kurti (vn); Viktor Uzur (vc)- BLUE GRIFFIN BGR 109 (53:50)

Selfishly, I hope they do not return to Europe too quickly. It would be a shame to lose them so soon. All of the arrangements are by cellist Uzur. Rather than slavishly imitating the originals, Uzur has remained faithful to them while not neglecting his imagination and creativity. Generally speaking, the violin takes the place of the electric guitar and the vocals, while the cellist serves as the electric bass and drum set. I feared that the several selections from Pink Floyd's self-pitying masterpiece The Wall, for example, would be deadly dull sans vocals, but Kurti and Uzur have proven me wrong. Without changing very much, they have changed everything. The spirit of rock music is the spirit of rebellion and innovation, and no one can rightfully say that these two musicians have failed to do that on this CD.
