Jean-Marc Marroni, born in Avignon
in 1964, devoted himself to music at an early age - to all kinds
of music as no style leaves him indifferent. His genuine passion
for the accordion was rewarded by the prize of the President of
the Republic in 1981 as well as by the SACEM prize. After winning
international accordion competitions like Folkestone, Klingenthal
and Lintz, Marroni received the first prize in the 1985 World
Cup organized by the International Accordion Confederation in
Paris. Currently Jean-Marc teaches, performs, and conducts seminars.
Jean-Marc selected very well known
and often performed pieces for this recording, which in a way
makes the artist's job more responsible. I like his performance:
it is emotionally mature, intelligent and neat. Every detail is
taken care of and a lot of thought has been given to the style
and sound clarity.
A slightly "new" approach to the
Bach's Chaconne is quite obvious. I would even say a somewhat
romantic approach, which I found different, quite interesting
and convincing.
Daquin, Couperen and Mozart were
performed with great warmth, mellow, with a satin tone color to
it. That together with excellent sound clarity and bellows technique
which shows through the very even voice control makes Jean-Marc's
performance one of a very high standard and this recording a great
buy.
