 Here
is a truly interesting and refined CD which presents a varied
programme of transcriptions which have been carefully chosen.
The artist is the young accordionist Luca Piovesan ( whom we learn
is also a poet) and whom we will undoubtedly hear more of in the
future.
The soloist has impeccable technique and an appropriate style
for all of the many ( and varied) chosen compostions thus restoring
their musical sense.
As previously stated , the programme , with the exception of two
pieces (Winter morning by Zolotaryov and Disco-toccata by Makkonen)
consists of varied transcriptions ... however, these are not the
"usual" transcriptions or musical adaptations from the
baroque, classic or romantic periods; in fact Piovesan, excluding
the first two tracks (Moszkowski and Scarlatti), gives us works
by contemporary composers: Taktakishvily (Pandur), Schnittke (4
pieces from the orchestral Suite "Revis Fairy-Tale"),
Ligeti (4 pieces from the collection "Musica Ricercata")
and Kurtàg (Ligatura).
It is well to note that - especially if one has never listened
to the original versions - all these pieces sound like original
compostions for accordion! This is undoubtedly due to the transcribers
(Piovesan himself, Jacomucci, Shishkin and Semionov) and of course
to the excellent artist.
