On this CD Aitor introduced himself as a very
talented accordionist and composer. As a composer, Aitor uses
modern, contemporary musical language. Using tonal and timbre

moods and pictures cross your mind.
Aitor is no doubt a very fine classical accordionist.
His technical standard is very high and tonally he performs
with great clarity. What is really fascinating about his performance

feeling of one. The compositions do not fall apart form wise,
during the performance. While listening to Aitor you feel that
