Davine is currently the Professor of Accordion & Theory for the
Lamont School of Music at the University of Denver. As a very
active promoter of the accordion he performed solo with many Symphony
Orchestras in the U.S. Currently he is researching a book on the
accordion & its literature.
Robert
Davine's choice for this CD were original compositions for the
accordion by modern composers. He presented him self as an accordionist
who has a lot of knowledge and experience in performing and
understanding contemporary music for the accordion.
There
is a very interesting mix of accordion and strings, and accordion,
cello and piano. I especially liked the accordion and cello
mix - a great blend! I also have to remark on the performance
of John Gart's "Vivo". Such a virtuous and fiery performance!
This CD is an excellent buy for the lovers of modern contemporary
accordion music.
