 Yehuda Oppenheimer is being honored on the 14th February with a Lifetime Achievement Award for all that he has done for the accordion during his lifetime in Israel. Yehuda has been ill in hospital and through his wife Adina, has thanked the many people who have sent him get well messages. I am pleased to report that Yehuda is steadily improving and hopes be home from hospital next week, with a few days to spare before the Lifetime Achievement Award Ceremony on the 14th February. Anyone wishing to send Yehuda Oppenheimer a get well or congratulations message may email: adinaya@netvision.net.il Last November, we reported the newly published book (picture left), ‘The Man, the Accordion, and the Legend’ (Catalog No: oybook) is a unique and monumental book, containing all 30 compositions plus 30 classical transcriptions of Yehuda Oppenheimer, Israel’s most accomplished accordionist. The beautifully presented book also includes a short biography plus many photographs. The book is large sized, hard back, and has 250 pages. Catalog No: oybook price is €30 or the US$ equivalent plus postage, available online. Below are also some pictures taken at the launch of the book in October attended by 42 of Yehuda's former pupils and their families (pictures below), two of whom came especially from the USA to attend. Available online at Yehuda Oppenheimer are two CD's, sound samples, original compositions, arrangements of folk music and famous classics. |
