I attended the Yuri Yunakov and Ivo Papasov concert, 9 pm show, on 10/28/05 at the Painted Bride in Philadelphia, PA. Without writing a "review", let me say it was a great concert and a bit different from what I had expected. Previous Yuri performances have been ear-shattering high decibel affairs; this was loud enough but way more tolerable. In fact, the sound system was excellent. Previous Yuri performances have also been much more dance - oriented, with audience members getting up and bopping around to ruchenitzas and kopanitzas, etc. This time, the band presented a number of much more concert - like pieces, all introduced and explained by Carol Silverman, who also sang on a number of them. Midway through the evening, the band was joined by jazz pianist pianist Armen Donelian (sp?). At the end, the band did play a pravo for dancing. All in all, a great concert.
