In front of me is a recording:
accordion duet, featuring well known South American and French
tunes, played in their own way, without accompaniment.
While listening to them there is
a such an impression that the two accordionists got together to
play purely for themselves, for fun and enjoyment and somebody
recorded it on the side without them even knowing it - that is
how spontaneous their obvious enjoyment sounds. The fact that
they play solo, without accompanying instruments creates that
special feeling of intimacy: as if they are playing for you especially
in the corner of some classy cafe.
They perform well known and popular
tunes and themes, pretty in their simplicity. Jean-Pierre and
Cherie play them with out excessive sentimentality, yet their
performance carries the delicious weight of stirred memories and
forgotten secrets.
