| The Salzburg Accordion Orchestra
was formed in 1975 under the leadership of Jacob Noordzij. Today
the SAS consists of C, B, and A orchestras and the A-Ensemble
with conductors Jacob Noordzij and Judith Deutsch-Cekan. Through
the years and many national and international contacts, the musicians
were able to gain playing experience, which then led them to success
at various competitions as well as concert tours.
The orchestra sounds very light and listening
to them is no doubt a very pleasant experience. They play a
very popular repertoire, with tunes such as The Muppets Show
Theme and Rhapsodia Andalusia, which makes it relaxing and easy
to listen to. Technically they are quite well balanced and on
time. However, although their tonal standard is quite high,
their overall performance is perhaps not of world standard in
other areas, but certainly is very enjoyable.
