If you are after a very entertaining band that includes two accordions, then this CD is the way to go! They play a wide variety of styles and the sound is very bright and crisp - they are great entertainment!

The two accordionists play very nicely together, are very 'tight' and interweave pleasantly. Their playing style is very light and free. I would comment however that on occasions, they use musette tuning which can give the impression that the two accordions are not quite tuned the same.

The rhythm section is quite dominant, including the piano for rhythm and drive. This is what it was traditionally used for in a dance band, and it was nice to hear that pianist Hans Baur didn't change his playing style!

The band gives plenty of variety in terms of who plays the melody, and in playing style. The fact that they are purely an instrumental band makes them very appealing to me.

Great entertainment!
