Unfortunately, there is no information
in English about this recording (the cover and insert of the CD
is written in Danish) featuring "Bornholms Musicshool's Accordion
Orchestra with soloists of Chamber Music, conducted by Gregor
Siegler". Shame really, as this is a superior recording in so
many ways and we would only gain by having information in English
as well.
This recording consists of music
for the accordion orchestra as well as chamber music with accordion
in different instrument combinations: violin + guitar + accordion;
flute + accordion; flute + accordion + violin. Two pieces are
arranged for the accordion orchestra and violin: Beethoven's Romance
in G Major and Romance by J. Svendsen.
Not often, is such a program structure
found. The programme includes classical and contemporary pieces
as well as a couple of popular numbers. I was very impressed by
the sound of Vaclav Trojan's music. The blend of accordion, guitar
and violin is just great, very natural and creates such a warm
tone color. This piece is performed splendidly and shows great
musicianship between the players.
Although members of the orchestra
are only children and teenagers, there is a sophisticated sound
by the orchestra and great togetherness. They play with the refinement
in expression and musical maturity.
This recording will bring you what
its name implies: Great Joy!
