Life and work

Lurie, who had classical piano training, initially stood in the shadow of his brother John Lurie. Since its foundation in 1979, he was one of the Lounge Lizards, but rather where he took the position of a marginal figure a. In 1987, he surprised everyone with his album Pieces for Bandoneon containing tangos for an acoustic ensemble. In 1990 he released the solo piano album Happy? Here? Now?, But which hardly attracted attention. In contrast, exhibited the work of Selling Water by the Side of the River Lurie as "highly original composer " from (Wolf Kampmann ). He composed the film scores for several low - budget films by Fisher Stevens and Steve Buscemi, which he presented in the compilation How I Spent My Vacation. Since the late 1980s, he wrote the soundtracks for several films of Roberto Benigni. He composed the music for television series such as Oswald (2001) or The Backyardigans ( 2004-2007). He also worked as a pianist and arranger for Ute Lemper.
