Performances of Vladimir
Zubitsky are well known in the world of classical accordion.
He is equally famous as a composer and his compositions are often
included in schools, concerts and competition repertoires of accordionists
around the world.
For this recording he has chosen
a very interesting program consisting of both his own compositions
and classics arranged for the accordion by Vladimir himself.
Vladimir's own pieces are "Slavic
threeology": Slavic Sonata, Bulgarian Notebook and Carpathian
Suite - all inspired by colorful Slavic melodies and rhythms.
Vladimir applies some sound effects in these pieces which are,
for the first time, used on the accordion and invented by Vladimir.
The other section of classical
pieces include the famous Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major
(finale) arranged very successfully and performed breathlessly.
Not often do you hear Beethoven being performed on the accordion
but 12 variations are performed with profound and deep understanding
for Beethoven's style.
Great recording!
