Quando Friedrich Lips cominciò a scoprire la musica
di Piazzolla nel 1970, fu un'esperienza straordinaria,
carica di forza, di colori, di emozioni penetranti in opere
piene di ritmi brillanti e focosi.
Immediatamente egli incluse alcuni dei tanghi di Piazzolla
nel suo programma solista, e nel Settembre 1993 il primo
concerto del quintetto di Lips 'Piazzolla-Studio' fu tenuto
nella sala da concerto piccola del Conservatorio di Mosca,
con il titolo 'Tanghi Argentini di Astor Piazzolla'.
I musicisti che hanno suonato in questo gruppo negli anni
sono stati Friedrich
Lips - fisarmonica, Vladislav Igolinsky - violino,
Kirill Rodin - violoncello, Svjatoslav Lips - pianoforte,
Mark Pekarsky - percussioni, Nikolay Lgovsky - percussioni,
e Vladimir Toncha - violncello.
A
Lips piace pensare che Piazzolla non ci abbia lasciati.
Egli è semplicemente passato in un'altra dimensione,
e vive ancora con noi per mezzo delle sue creazioni uniche.
Con questi CD contenenti i suoi bellissimi tanghi, lips
lo saluta: "Buenos Dias, Astor!"
All Friedrich
Lips CD's are available for purchase online via secure

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.
