40 Jahre Lydie Auvray Jubiläumskonzert - Deutschlandby Rob Howard |
 Sonntag, 5. November 2017, 18h in Wolkenburg-Köln/DeutschlandIhr Name steht für moderne und leidenschaftliche Akkordeonmusik! Seit fast vier Jahrzehnten begeistert und fasziniert Lydie Auvray mit ihrer Musik und ihrem Akkordeon-Spiel. Die gebürtige Normannin, die das Akkordeon in Deutschland geadelt und als ernstzunehmendes Instrument für die Populärmusik zurück gewonnen hat, zeigt auch in ihrem Soloprogramm, was sie auszeichnet und ihre künstlerische Klasse ausmacht: Ausdruck und Gefühl, Leichtigkeit und musikalische Tiefe, handwerkliche Virtuosität (aber nie als Selbstzweck) und stilistische Vielfalt. Ihre musikalischen Quellen, Musette, Tango, Chanson, Weltmusik wie auch Elemente des Jazz und der Klassik, mischt sie so dezent wie gekonnt, dass alles auf wunderbare Weise zusammen passt und die Musik als ihre typisch eigene erkennbar wird Im Laufe ihrer Bühnenkarriere hat Lydie Auvray mit bekannten Größen wie Hannes Wader, Reinhard Mey, Klaus Hoffmann, Peter Maffay, Stoppok, aber auch Senta Berger und Elke Heidenreich zusammen gearbeitet. Nun feiert die Grande Dame des Akkordeons ihr 40-jähriges Bühnenjubliäum. Und das sehr feierlich im wunderschönen Festsaal der Wolkenburg – präsentiert vom Senftöpfchen Theater. Durch den Abend werden nicht nur Lydie Auvray und ihre Band „ Die Auvrettes“ (mit Harald Heinl, Eckes Malz, Gigu Neutsch & Markus Tiedemann ) oder ihr Trio (mit Eckes Malz & Markus Tiedemann) führen. Es werden auch einige der berühmten Künstler und Freunde mit auftreten, die Lydie Auvray während ihrer Karriere begleiteten: Elke Heidenreich, Bettina Böttinger, Hannes Wader, Klaus Hoffmann und Thomas C. Breuer. |

 The Cambridge Buskers - Michael Copley (flute, recorder, ocarina, crumhorn) and Dag Ingram (48 bass accordion) – in the 1970s were students at Cambridge University who shared a passion for classical music. They began busking at folk clubs and in the streets, and went busking around Europe, where were fortunate to be spotted by Deutsche Gramophon, and offered them a recording contract. The duo made a highly successful career out of their busking, performed on radio and TV, toured the world performing the works of the great classical composers, and made several albums. Eventually Dag Ingram left, and was replaced by accordionist Ian Moore, and the new duo was renamed The Classic Buskers. ‘The Cambridge Buskers Collection’ 4 CD Box Set, digitally remastered and issued by the Australian record company Eloquence, contains the following albums: ‘Soap Opera’ (1982), ‘The Cambridge Buskers Handel Bach’ (1985), ‘The Explosive Sound of The Cambridge Buskers’ (1985), ‘Another Serious Album’ (1981), ‘Not Live From New York’ (1979), ‘A Little Street Music’ (1977), ‘Between Pub & Podium’ (1977), ‘King’s Parade’ (1978). The four CDs contain over 130 tracks, featuring music from The Barber of Seville, Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Elgar’s Land of Hope and Glory, Ravel's Bolero, Handel's Water Music, Nutcracker Suite, Carmen, Hallelujah Chorus, The 1812 Overture, Eine kleine Nachtmusik, William Tell Overture, The Magic Flute, Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, New World Symphony, Rigoletto, Brandenburg Concertos, Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, The Entertainer, La Traviata, Peer Gynt Suite, Swan Lake, and many, many more.

  Professor Owen Murray’s whole evening tango concert on February 2nd 2017 at the Royal Academy of Music, which he called ‘The Art of Tango’, was one of the most exciting accordion events of the many he has produced with his small Academy department. Starting with Piazzolla’s rarely heard ‘Ballet Tango’, written for Richard Galliano and dedicated to him, and scored for bandoneon and four accordions, students demonstrated their skill in virtuosic and combination playing. This was followed by works by Albeniz, Stravinsky, Finzi, and Ishii, demonstrating the great variety of works in tango style. The first half of the programme concluded with Piazzola’s ‘Le Grand Tango’ - a wonderful performance by Cecillia Bignall (cello) and Iosif Purits (accordion) of a late 20th Century masterpiece. The second half of the concert was a presentation by visiting Professor Mario S. Pietrodarchi who led an excellent Academy string quartet, the Cymbeline Quartet, throughout his performance. Performing on his bandoneon with great sensitivity and dynamic delicacy, the very full audience was brought to its feet. Pietrodarchi performed first a group of well-known Piazzolla numbers, ‘Oblivion’, ‘Adios Nonino’, ‘Milonga del Angel’, and ‘The Death of an Angel’. The full emotive power of this music with the excellent orchestration with the bandoneon, created an awareness of a special occasion. The climax of the programme was a UK premiere of a ‘Concerto for Bandoneon and Orchestra’ by Roberto Di Marino. Rare perhaps with modern serious writing, this work was full of beautiful melody and rhythm as well as virtuosic dexterity for the soloist, bringing to an end an evening of very special music making. Thanking the audience, Mario Pietrodarchi expressed special thanks and compliments to Owen Murray and all the Academy students who had taken part. “If only”, he said, “there had been in existence such a department as Owen has created, at the beginning of my career, how lucky would it have been for me and how lucky for students now”. A splendid compliment. |
