Accordions on Prime TV Show "Domenica In" - Italy
Contributed by Holda Paoletti-Kampl

"Domenica In" is one of the most important TV programmes in Italy with over 6 million viewers, presented by Pippo Baudo every Sunday afternoon on RAI Uno, Italy’s premiere TV channel. More Pictures.

On Sunday 2nd December, the Musical Director Pippo Caruso, chose to feature the accordion in various musical styles. The musicians, who all performed live, were Mirco Patarini, Mario Stefano Pietrodarchi, Renzo Ruggieri, Luca Colantonio, Eleonora Tomassetti & Paolo Rozzi. Each artist played a different style of music.

For the finale they played together accompanied by the "Domenica In" Orchestra, the famous tango “La Cumparsita” arranged by Pippo Caruso. The irresistible tune drove the popular presenter to invite the actress Anna Falchi to dance with him.

The six musicians were very satisfied with the performance as it is very rare that such popular TV shows as this devote so much time to instrumental music.

During rehearsals Pippo Caruso told the artists that every time the accordion appears on screen the viewing figures rise faster than with any other instrument. This success will probably be the first of a series of important appearances for the accordion on Italian TV. More Pictures.

An  A to Z of the Accordion - Rob Howard
Emil Johansen Concert, Reykjavik - Iceland
Contributed by Rob Howard

On November 16th, Norwegian accordionist Emil Johansen performed a concert in Grafarvog’s Church, Reykjavik, with a program including works by Pietro Frosini, Pietro Deiro, Toralf Tollefsen and Astor Piazzolla. The occasion for the concert was the 30th anniversary celebration of the accordion orchestra Félag harmonikuunnenda.

The concert was broadcast live on the  National Radio Channel, heard by an audience of 75,000 listeners around the country. Emil played one of his own compositions, titled ’Roundabout’. The composition is about one of his concert-tours through Scotland and England, driving his car in strange places and not knowing which side of the road to drive on. He got stuck in several roundabouts, hence the name ’Roundabout’ for the melody!

At the evening Emil’s solo concert lasted for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, before a very excited audience.

The orchestra later held a celebration party, at which Emil gave a 20 minutes’ concert and later played for dancing.
