Album Description
"Either way you view it, Caine's The Goldberg Variations is a magnificent event for the aural senses! Highly recommended." -- All About Jazz "Don't waste your time reading this review: beg, borrow or buy a copy of this life-enhancing disc as soon as possible ... If you don't come away from the whole experience, with a grin a mile wide ... then there's probably no hope for you." -- BBC Music magazine [on Uri Caine's Diabelli Variations] "With this combination of piety and irreverance, his projects have endeared him to classical listeners hungry for an innovative voice that can engage seriously with a tradition while detonating its boundaries." -- New York Times Highlights of Uri Caine's classical adaptations feature previously unreleased music.

A. Sarkar (new york)
I am a fan of both classical music and jazz, and so I was curious about a fusion of the two. "Fused genres" tend to work better in theory than in practice. This album was a mixed experience, depending largely on the instruments featured. The 5 tracks after Bach's "Goldberg Variations" worked the best; they featured piano, saxophone, clarinet, and drums. Piano, clarinet and drums again work pleasingly in "Desdemona's Lament," after Verdi (whose compositions are intrinsically dramatic). Variations for lute and clarinet, and for lute and flute, sound good together. On the other hand, tracks emphasizing scratching (on turntables), organ, and violin didn't work for me. I found the Schumann variations irritating, with German lieder and English "pop-lyric" sung fugue-style. Variations on Mozart and Wagner? Liebe nicht! By the way, there is a 7-page hard cover mini-booklet with just 2 pages devoted to track information in extremely small print. Lousy way to use precious paper! In the end, I suspect this kind of music elicits highly personal responses, with some listeners vouching for it and others left cold.
