Король и Шут (King and Clown)

"Король и Шут(The King and the Clown)" by and large, always full of fans obdelyali acoustic programs, while possessing apparent ability to chamber format.Their first acoustic album "band released in 2000. The plate was saturated, colorful and varied, without losing the freshness and to this day.
Second acoustic album, "Театральный Демон (Theatre Demon), preceded by a long, serious and meticulous preparation.  Initially, the musicians would be combined under the "quiet" program only old songs, but, as a result, we decided to focus only on new material, it is not known to the public. In the expressive means of the band members themselves are not restricted.In addition to a full arsenal of acoustic instruments (electric bass left only), typical for a group involved in the album piano, cello, trumpet, mandolin, etc.
Maximum enriching their current sound, "Король и Шут" made sure that all this magnificence is not exhausted under its own pomposity, and as clearly as possible to work on the concept album.  Topic relations actor and spectator, the writer and reader group members interested in a long time.
Who are helping to transform an actor on stage, and which board will have to sacrifice as a result of this gift?  What is a domestic film actor, which finally consolidated the mass consciousness in the role of villain? What is so very scary magician, who does his miracles in reality?
It is noteworthy that the leaders of the group is not restricted, and invented a fantastic story, and is also drawn to real events, Such, for example, the song "Andy Kaufman" dedicated to the legendary American comedian, who was able to masterfully manipulate the public.
Making the album was made in the entourage of the Silver Age, when all the polls creators tried to flirt with the vague mysticism and innovative forms of theatricality. Tribute to the then dominant style of Art Nouveau was the bohemian-artsy name plate Театральный Демон "and its vintage design.  In the dim pre-revolutionary era of actors and writers often became professional terrorists anarchist persuasion, and the masks the past often concealed the Tsarist secret police agents.  On such intricate twists and turns just narrates the song "Madame Georgette", which is not only a virtuoso ranked plot, but also subtle linguistic games.
But the most interesting album begins when the line between eras, and put the most daring experiments with time. In fact, the story of how the poet-anarchist put away in a psychiatric hospital ("Rebel"), may apply to the Silver Age, and Brezhnev's stagnation, and to our time.  Plus, this from the situation described Andrey Knyazev makes a very unexpected and, sometimes, pitiless conclusions. By the hapless revolutionary, the author has not shown any sympathy by speaking out against him definitely and firmly.When the rebellion became a fashionable trend, and appeals to overthrow the regime - an attempt to hide its own failure - "Король и Шут" preserve the wisdom and restraint.  Musicians no longer need to hide behind slogans of rattling and meaningless slogans.  Their trump card - is still music that the album "Театральный Демон" is really a lot and that is not hidden behind a flashy effects and distorted sound. The proof is a wonderful heroic ballad "The defenders of" crowning the plate.  "Enchanting will sing until the morning the children of fire." So it will be
