Toys (1992)

The introduction of important recording works by the exceptional musician and composer Uri Caine: Uri Caine is one of the few artists who is at home in jazz clubs, in classical concert halls and at the opera. Caine is a knowledgeable great master of both serious and light music. His artistic creativity and joy of experimentation seem to be boundless. He reworks the repertoire of the Tin Pan Alley and from the Great American Songbook. Through his interpretations do not only Johann Sebastian Bach and Giuseppe Verdi sound unexpectedly new but also George Gershwin and not to forget Gustav Mahler. He interprets, adapts, arranges and carries on the music of Mahler.
