Ultimo CD di Øivind Farmen, Oslo - Norvegia
Contributed by Øivind Farmen
Durante
le ultime settimane ho registrato musica scandinava di tema 'estivo'
come fisarmonicista solista con la Banda dell'Aeronautica Reale, diretta
dal trombettista di fama mondiale Ole Edvard Antonsen.
Questo progetto include nuovi arrangiamenti degli 'Hits estivi' scandinavi
di tutti i tempi eseguiti da me e uno dei più famosi cantanti
norvegesi, Bjarne Brøndbo, che dà il suo contributo
in diverse canzoni. Il CD sarà in vendita a partire dal mese
di Giugno.
Renowned Japanese accordionist Yasuhiro 'Coba' Kobayashim performed
on a special concert 'A Tribute to Toru Takemitsu' at the famed Kennedy
Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. Currated by his
daughter Maki Takemitsu, the concert featured Kazumi Watanabe and
Daisuke Suzuki on guitar, Coba on accordion, and Tomohiro Yahiro on
percussion.
One of Japan's most famous and celebrated composers, Toru Takemitsu
(1930-1996) broke new ground by exploring principles of western classical
music and his native Japanese tradition. Largely self-taught, he experienced
a stroke of luck in the 1950s when Igor Stravinsky heard his work
by accident, greatly admired it, and helped bring him international
attention. Influenced by French music, particularly that of Debussy
and Messiaen, some of Takemitsu's most well known compositions encompasses
jazz and film music.
With his extremely unique, pop, accordion music, Coba has helped revolutionize
the image of the accordion. In 1995, the Icelandic singer Bjork saw
his concert performance in London and was instantly attracted to his
music. Immediately after the performance, he was asked to join her
on a world tour, which lasted three years and covered more than 60
countries reaching more than 3 million people.
Coba produces music for more than 10 regular nationwide TV and radio
programs. In addition to releasing his 29th CD, he is also engaged
in a variety of activities ranging from producing projects for various
other artistes to producing film music, which makes this popular accordionist
one of the busiest composers, performers and producers in Japan.

with Attitude', featuring accordionists Guy

new world sounds, they move around the continents and through time,
playing songs with ancient melodies as well as startlingly fresh 21st
century compositions.
Stephen Eddis from allmusicguide.com says, "The number of classical

among its brightest lights."

Thierry Benetoux is publishing a new book 'Sounding
Out The Accordion'. This book will be available at the end of
March and can be ordered in advance at a special price on the internet.
The book, about sound diversity in the accordion, is such that many
accordionists wish to explore the potential of their instruments to
the full. This book, with its DVD, offers an opportunity to explore
the varieties of sounds in various instruments. This incredible diversity
is little known by the general public and even to some musicians.
