Скончался пионер аккордеонного искусства Эмилио Джоаккини (Emilio Gioacchini), FAS – Италияby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
 |
 Эмилио Джоакини – одна из исторических личностей аккордеонного искусства города Кастельфидардо – скончался в понедельник 28 мая в возрасте 87 лет. Эмилио Джоаккини был хорошо известен и высоко ценился в городе Кастельфидардо благодаря своей фабрике FAS di Gioacchini Emilio & s.n.c по производству резонаторов. Эта фабрика начала свою работу довольно давно и со временем перешла к его сыну Марко, который с юности овладевал навыками семейного бизнеса в период расцвета аккордеонного производства. С тех пор Марко продолжает работать в FAS di Gioacchini Emilio & s.n.c. с той же страстью, что и его отец Эмилио, состоявший в аккордеонном сообществе Кастельфидардо и других городов мира. У Эмилио Джоаккини остались жена Мария, сын Марко, дочь Патриция и племянница Лаура. |

Встреча, посвященная исторической фабрике Farfisa, Кастельфидардо – Италияby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |

  Клаудио Каппони (Claudio Capponi), на фото слева с Маркосиньори (Marcosignori) – один из самых уважаемых настройщиков фортепиано – до сих пор хранит неизгладимые воспоминания о временах работы исторической компании Farfisa, что на протяжении многих лет производила популярные музыкальные инструменты и распространяла их по всему миру, обеспечивая работой многие семьи в Кастельфидардо и окрестностях. Страсть к истории фабрики Farfisa вдохновила Клаудио Каппони создать сайт www.capponiclaudio.it, посвященный истории этой компании. Сайт включает в себя историю компании, многие модели музыкальных инструментов производства Farfisa и отзывы музыкантов, которые в течение долгого времени работали на фабрике в качестве демонстраторов. К ним относятся: Гервасио Маркосиньори (Gervasio Marcosignori), Риккардо Паппетс (Riccardo Puppets), Мирко Патарини (Mirco Patarini), Санти Латора (Santi Latora), Дино Коччини (Dino Cocchini), Премичи Ферруччо (Premici Ferruccio), Франческо Кастанья (Francesco Castagna), Пине Гулиция (Pine Gulizia). Постепенно родилась идея встретиться в реальной жизни и создать день, посвященный музыке. Эта встреча, получившая название "Castelfidardo Day" («День Кастельфидардо»), состоялась 27 мая 2012 года. На встрече присутствовали Гервасио Маркосиньори и Мирко Патарини (победитель конкурса «Трофей мира»). Этот замечательный день в память о фабрике Farfisa закончился в театре Astra Theatre выступлением оркестра города Кастельфидардо Fisorchestra под управлением маэстро Риккардо Паппетса.

 On May 24th, in the St Petersburg major Oktyabrsky Concert Hall, was held the first recital concert of Metodie Buzhor, the Moldavian singer, who now lives in St Petersburg. The advertising poster stated that the concert was dedicated to the beloved city, which on May 27th celebrated 309 years. Within the 2.30 hours concert, there was a large part of the program performed by Metodie Buzhor, accompanied by the internationally acclaimed Saint-Petersburg Musette Ensemble. Their program was dedicated to tango music. They started with their own version of ‘Chiquilin de Bachin’, by A. Piazzolla, continued with two popular Russian songs, ‘Autumn’, by V. Kozin and ‘Only Once’, by B. Fomin. Their performance ended with the world famous ‘Por una Cabeza’, by C. Gardel. All arrangements were specially written as accompaniments to the singer. At the beginning and at the end of the group performance, soloists of the Saint-Petersburg Musette Ensemble Svetlana Stavitskaya and Vladimir Ushakov (pictured) performed two pieces as soloists with accompaniment by Saint-Petersburg Concert Orchestra, conducted by Andrey Medvedev. They performed popular waltz ‘Cascade de Paris’, by E. Doga, and the famous tango ‘Jealousy’, by J. Gade. During the performances of the soloists and group the tango dancers duet ‘Rendez-vous’ performed on stage. The concert was enthusiastically greeted by the audience, which numbered 4,500. The public gave a 15 minutes standing ovation to the artistry of Metodie Buzhor and his friends! |

 On Sunday 27th May Stephanie Poole performed at the Cathedral in Parnell with Bach Musica. The concert program read:“In 2011 Bach Musica collaborated with the John MacKay Jazz Trio and accordionist Stephanie Poole in a fusion of jazz and classical music. We received many requests for a repeat concert. Today’s program introduces further arrangements by John MacKay, two works by Piazzolla with Stephanie Poole and a world premiere of a work by Michelannne Porster and John MacKay that pays homage to Bach.” All of these works were very well received by the large and enthusiastic audience. Stephanie’s Piazzolla was a well practiced warm and inspired rendition, matching the sound of the bandoneon very effectively. Founded in 1977, Bach Musica is a choir and orchestra specialising in music of the Baroque and Classical periods, and how become widely recognised as one of New Zealand's premiere Baroque ensembles. Stephanie Poole (nee Grey) was born in Auckland and has been a prolific winner of competitions in New Zealand, including three times winner of the New Zealand Solo Accordion Championship. She was principal accordionist with the Air New Zealand Accordion Orchestra which toured extensively through Europe, the United States and China. Stephanie has been the accordion teacher for the University of Auckland’s Bachelor of Music (Accordion Performance) program and has also taught a number of New Zealand’s recent solo Champions with good results internationally at the Coupe Mondiale World Accordion Championships.

| Season 11 American Idol TV show closed with Phillip Phillips taking the title. But it was contestant Elise Testone that caught the eye of accordionists when she sang Billy Joel's "Vienna" with only a pianist and accordionist on stage with her. Elise Nicole Testone is an American singer and songwriter from Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. She placed sixth on the eleventh season of American Idol. In the words of a writer at the Hollywood Reporter “she he absolutely nailed it .... I loved the accordion, loved the hair, the dress, the delivery - all of it!” Elise earned a standing ovation from all three judges, and many subsequent reports on the show complimented her on the use of the accordion as musical backing in her performance. |

| The Accordions Worldwide news for May 29th 1988 included an item about a concert of Beatles music in Canada, performed by accordionist Domenic Amatucci. Amatucci, still active today, is renowned for his love of Beatles tunes, and has performed and recorded much of the Fab Four’s repertoire. Although some people attribute the decline in the accordion’s popularity in the 1960s to the rise of the Beatles, it should be noted that John Lennon played the accordion in his early years, and Sir Paul McCartney usually features an accordionist in his backing band. ACCORDION BEATLES CONCERT - CANADA Contributed by Domenic "the Accordion Beatles guy" Amatucci On June 3rd Domenic Amatucci will perform an accordion Beatles concert at the Safari Bar Grill & Billiards, Toronto, at 7.30pm. He will play a variety of Beatles songs from Please Please Me to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, as well as zydeco, rock, blues, jazz, pop, tangos, musette, latino, waltzes and polkas. The Internet Life magazine "Yahoo" included an item recently on Domenic, and his Accordion Beatles page was featured in Yahoo's Pick of the Week. Domenic has been performing Beatles hits in Toronto subways since October 1997. He recently attended the Canadian Music Week and took part in an interview of Sir George Martin.
