The initial freshness and astonishing originality of the songs to be heard here - by the very nature of hit tunes - now tends more to awaken feelings of nostalgia, though most remain well-known to this day. And yet, if we were to hear them in the same way as we did back then, we'd be listening to them as if at a wild house party, reliving the past with a little alcohol thrown in. The aim of this evening, however, is not merely to revive old memories, but to create some new musical sounds and unu...sual interpretations while preserving the mood and content of the original songs. The focus is on reinterpreting the songs and creating a harmony between the various styles and genres. What was once a waltz can be heard in a blues version; an airy pop tune transformed through a jazz motif; and modern rock growing from a tearful chanson. Nothing is "exactly as it was” therefore; instead, the performers rephrase everything that has happened to us and to our music over almost a century with the sensibility of a musical orchestrator. The guarantee for this is the singing of Eszter Nagy-Kálózy and István Hirtling, and the personality of Norbert Káel, who brilliantly melds his jazz experiences acquired in the US with a classic Hungarian musical background.
