Emilio Balcarce, 1918 to 2011, Buenos Aires – Argentinaby Rob Howard |
Juan Emilio Sitano, born February 22nd 1918 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, better known as Emilio Balcarce, was a violinist, bandoneon player, director, arranger and composer. His first instrument was the mandolin, followed by the violin, which Balcarce studied for 6 years. Later he played at dances, cafes, and during the intermissions of plays. In 1940 Balcarce formed his own orchestra, also playing the accordion. For 19 years he played in an orchestra with Osvaldo Pugliese, and eventually Balcarce began a solo career. Barace formed his first band with the singer Jorge Duran, followed by Amadeo Mandarino and Osvaldo Bazán, and began composing, arranging and collaborations with big names from the Tango scene such as Anibal Troilo, Alfredo Gobbi, Francini-Pontier, José Basso, Leopoldo Federico. He achieved great popularity with his compositions ‘La Bordona’ and ‘Pichuco’ and the tango composition ‘Bien compadre’. Balcarce later formed Sexteto Tango, making recordings for RCA Victor. Sexteto Tango toured Japan, France, Russia, Spain, Holland, and all the countries of South America. In 2000 the Orquesta Escuela de Tango Emilio Balcarce (OTS) school was founded in order to commemorate the golden tango era, releasing 2 CDs: ‘De contrapunto’ (2000) and ‘Bien compadre’ (2004). In December 2001 the first musicians graduated from the school. Emilio Balcarce was declared Honorary Academician of the National Academy of Tango, Distinguished Citizen of Villa Urquiza and Buenos Aires, received the Diploma ‘Glory of Tango’ by the Academy of Lunfardo Porteña. With the Sexteto Tango he achieved two Konex awards in 1985 and 1995. After many years of performing Emilio decided to retire and settled in the Neuquén province of Argentina.

Owen Murray Performs in ‘The Plague’, London – UKby Roland Williams |
‘The Plague’, which was performed at London’s Barbican Centre on Sunday 15th January 2011, was commissioned by the BBC and first performed in 1964. It is based on a musical setting of a novel entitled ‘The Plague’, by the French writer Albert Camus. The novel tells the story of a town on the coast of Algeria which is hit by a plague carried by rats and all the horrors and effects ongoing from that. Roberto Gerhard (1896 – 1970) set the story to music using a narrator, a large chorus and orchestra (the London orchestra Da Camera, conducted by David Temple) with the orchestration including a large part for accordion, which adds brilliantly to the orchestral tonal color of the accompaniment of the narrator and choir. This Barbican performance received high praise from the music critics. The accordion part by Owen Murray blended brilliantly with choir and percussion in some of the most dramatic parts of the score and the narration, so much so, that one critic described it as ‘the lungs’ of the orchestra. Owen Murry received with the conductor and narrator an especially loud cheer from a very appreciative Barbican audience. Roberto Gerhard, also composed a ‘Concerto for 8 instruments’, one of which is the accordion. Like ‘The Plague’ it is a rarely performed work but one of exceptional tonal colour. |
’14 Years Ago’ - Well Known Americans Playing Accordions - USAby Rob Howard |
The news on January 31st 1997 carried two articles on the topic of well known US celebrities who have been playing the accordion… BIG NAMES AND GREAT TALENTS PLAY ACCORDION Contributed by Faithe Deffner (picture right), President of the American Accordionists' Association The accordion currently is played by a host of celebrities. Among them are: Peter Catera (Chicago), Sheryl Crow (picture top left), Linda Evangelista Peter Gabriel, Paul Simon, Benny Anderson (ABBA), Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), Peter Holsapple (Hootie & the Blowfish), Krist Novoselic (formerly of Nirvana), Cindy Lauper, Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi), Charlie Gillingham (Counting Crows), Bruce Hornsby (picture lower left), John Linnell (They Might Be Giants), Garth Hudson (The Band). Journalist Katharina Sand hailed the accordion's ever growing popularity in her recent New York Magazine article: "Last year, Jay Leno (the popular night time TV talk show host) tried to make Linda Evangelista (the high-style fashion model) look uncool by having her play the accordion on the Tonight Show (a top-rated nightly TV broadcast). He may have been behind the curve. Lately, the little-loved instrument has been popping up in surprising places. Lili Taylor is a professional accordion player. Sheryl Crow now straps one on in concert. 'She took it up easily because she played the piano,' says Crow's agent. 'She decided the accordion was much sexier as an instrument though.' Aren't you proud to be playing the hottest instrument around - the unique and exciting accordion! |
