Video: Alexander Selivanov and Denis Chefanov Perform Frescos - Italyby Harley Jones |
| On the 19th September, Alexander Selivanov and Denis Chefanov performed a concert as part of the 2014 Castelfidardo Festival. The first work of their program was 'Frescos', a concerto for accordion and symphony orchestra composed by Viatcheslav Semionov. Selivanov and Chefanov have arranged the work for accordion and piano. Slides were also shown that were relevant to the theme of the music, so the room at the beginning of the concert is darker than normal, so the slides will show. The work is an enormous tour de force with an real impact for the listener when performed by these two superb and prominent artists from Moscow. The concert was sponsored by Scandalli Accordions. Download program: Selivanov-Chefanov.pdf Other works from this concert will be published next week |

‘14 Years Ago’: Magnante Exhibition @ World of Accordions Museumby Rob Howard |
 The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending October 6th 2000 included an item about a display of music and memorabilia owned by the late maestro Charles Magnante (1906-86), widely recognized as one of the greatest accordionists of his era. Magnante's Musical Legacy Displayed at World of Accordions Museum – USA Contributed by the American Accordionists' Association "A World of Accordions Museum" is proud to announce that an agreement has been reached with Dr. Peter Magnante (Massachusetts) to transfer the musical estate of his father, famed composer and performer Charles Magnante (1905-1986), to the Duluth institute. Magnante and Faithe Deffner, President of the American Accordionists' Association, met with Helmi Strahl Harrington, Ph.D., curator of the Museum in September and made the announcement during a celebratory concert at the Museum on September 23rd. A World of Accordions Museum of Duluth, Minnesota is known internationally as a unique accordion research center, attracting students and scholars from many countries. Called "one of the most important developments in American accordion history" by Faithe Deffner, the Museum houses about 1,000 accordion-family instruments, thousands of recordings, hundreds of thousands of pieces of music, accordion-related art works, and many diverse reference materials. The Magnante collection represents an important contribution to the Museum resources, and this site of its permanent placement is viewed as appropriate of reaching a wide audience. The official opening of the display is projected to coincide with the AAA International Competition and Festival to be held in Duluth, July 2002, as part of the ongoing cooperative affiliation between the Museum and the American Accordionists' Association. Charles Magnante who was one of AAA's founders in 1938, is legendary in the annuals of concert and entertainment music for accordion. His acclaim as soloist and performer in consort with musical giants of his time is of singular stature in American cultural history. Respected by professionals and audiences alike, his compositions set technical standards for virtuoso performance while retaining popular appeal throughout the world. Harrington anticipates publishing a biographical and musicological study after reviewing and cataloging the Magnante collection. |
