Roby Lakatos And His Ensemble • As Time Goes By

 

 

Review from MusicWeb International: Roby Lakatos is descended from János Bihari, the celebrated violinist and this compilation of movie themes gets the genuine gypsy treatment with full-blooded interpretations of pieces such as the titular 'As Time Goes By' from Casablanca (1942) and 'If I were a Rich Man' from Fiddler on the Roof. The selections that work best though are those where Lakatos takes centre stage with his expressive violin playing, particularly on the two Morricone tracks, 'Poverty' and 'Deborah's Theme' from Once Upon a Time in America (1984). An agreeable collection, performed with aplomb, that should entertain most and will especially appeal to those who gravitate towards the colour and energy of gypsy music. http://www.musicweb-international.com/film/2002/nov02/lakatos_as_time_goes_by.html

Reseña de MusicWeb International: Roby Lakatos es descendiente de János Bihari, el célebre violinista, y esta compilación de temas de películas recibe el genuino tratamiento gitano con interpretaciones de sangre caliente de piezas como el titular 'As Time Goes By' de Casablanca (1942) y 'If I Were a Rich Man' de El violinista en el tejado. Las selecciones que mejor funcionan son aquellas en las que Lakatos ocupa el centro del escenario con su expresiva interpretación del violín, particularmente en los dos temas de Morricone, 'Poverty' y 'Deborah's Theme' de Érase una vez en América (1984). Una colección agradable, interpretada con aplomo, que debería entretener a la mayoría y que atraerá especialmente a quienes se sienten atraídos por el color y la energía de la música gitana. http://www.musicweb-international.com/film/2002/nov02/lakatos_as_time_goes_by.html
