Yossi Hurie and Nisim Menachem-- original line-up of the celebrated Israeli folk-pop duo, The Parvarim -- cut this harmonious selection of Hebrew-translated Simon & Garfunkel hits back in 1971. These renditions are, in general, nicely realized; with tasteful arrangements and subtle production values. I'd reckon that The Sound of Silence, America, El Condor Pasa, The Side of the Hill, The Boxer and April Come She Will are the highlight tracks for me. I must admit that The Parvarim's take on Bridge Over Troubled Water, while delivered with care and sensitivity, does little to alter my own supreme ambivalence toward that song. So it goes. 320 vinyl rip by yours truly. Enjoy.
