Lips CD 022 VIVA VOCE erhältlich!by Dr Herbert Scheibenreif Manager of Friedrich Lips Productions |
 Der norwegische Komponist Trigve Madsen schrieb für Friedrich Lips und Jon Faukstad eine „Partita für zwei Akkordeons“, wo er unter Berücksichtigung der Tatsache, dass die Interpreten aus Russland und Norwegen stammten, mit humorvollen Elementen zeigen wollte, wie nahe sich der russische Komponist D.Schostakowitsch und der Norweger E.Grieg nicht nur ist stilistisch, sondern auch thematisch stehen. Yehuda Yannay hat er über 120 Werke für verschiedene Instrumente, elektronische Musik und Filmmusik geschrieben. „Bayannayab” ist ein palindromisches Werk, entstanden aus dem Familiennamen „Yannay” und der Bezeichnung für das Instrument „Bayan“.Das Stück basiert auf vier Akkorden, die allmählich zerlegt werden und einander überlagern. Roman Ledenjow’s Werk „Reigen“ ist der dritte Teil eines Zyklus unter dem allgemeinen Titel „Auf dem Hintergrund der russischen Landschaft“. Der Reigen ist ein kreisförmiger lyrischer Tanz in Kombination mit kindlichen Spielen. Die beiden hervorragenden russischen Komponisten Roman Ledenjow und Efrem Podgaiz stellen ihre Versionen des bekannten Bildes von der Jungfrau Maria dar: „Ave, Maria“. Podgaiz verwendete im „Konzert Nr.2“ das Straßenlied „Murka“ aus Odessa, außerdem findet sich noch irgendwo heimlich das Motiv des Liedes „Ach, Odessa!“. „Viva voce“ („lebendige Stimme“) soll nach dem Vorhaben des Komponisten das Tönen, das Atmen der Straße darstellen. Übrigens, VIVA VOCE ist das Pflichtstück für die 3.Runde des IV Internationalen Bajanwettbewerbs (2010 V International) in Moskau vom 12.-19.Dezember. Sie können online erworben werden und hören Klangbeispiele von "Viva Voce", Katalog: CD022-Website (CD022). |

Alexander Cholminov /85. Geburtstag am 8. September - Moskau/Russlandby Herbert Scheibenreif |
 Obwohl Alexander Nikolayevich Cholminov (1925 geboren), der als weltweit einer der anerkanntesten und bewunderten Kompononisten für Bajan gesehen wird, hat er eigentlich nur 1 Stück für dieses Intrument geschrieben und zwar das bekannte Werk “Suite für Bajan”. Diese Suite aus dem Jahre 1951, ist in fast allen Repertoires bekannter Akkordeonisten zu finden und wurde von vielen Generationen – Studenten und Solisten in ihr Programm aufgenommen.Fast ein halbes Jahrhundert nach seinem prächtigen Debüt ist Alexander Cholminov heute einer der bedeutendsten russischen Komponisten für Opern, Sinfonie-und Kammermusik. Im Jahr 1998 kam Cholminov zurück zum Bajan um sein " Sinfoniekonzert für Bayan" zu komponieren. Aus seiner „Herbst“ Melodie (2005) verwendet Cholminov eine schöne Melodie seiner Musik für den Film "Predsedatyel" ("The Chairman"). Seine Phantasie, tief und emotional, perfekt strukturiert, zeigt - was unerlässlich ist - ziemlich hohe Töne in voller Intonation. Endlich, wird die erste Aufführung seines Werkes "Concerto für Bayan & Symphony Orchestra" während des Eröffnungskonzertes des diesjährigen "IV Internationalen Wettbewerbes für Akkordeonisten und Bajanisten" in Moskau am 12. Dezember 2010 (Solist: Friedrich Lips) stattfinden. Für weitere Informationen E-Mail: herbert@accordion-cd.co.at |

 Henry Doktorski performed at the 14th Annual German Heritage Festival in Erie, Pennsylvania, during Labor Day weekend September 4th and 5th, his second consecutive year performing at this event. He was the featured performer in the ‘Viennese Pavilion’ -decorated with a magnificent backdrop of the Habsburg Schönbrunn Palace, and his repertoire included the great European waltzes and polkas by Johann Strauss Jr. and Émile Waldteufel, among other composers. Henry commented, "I really enjoyed performing in the relaxed atmosphere of the Viennese Pavilion. The audience members sat at café tables where they nibbled on German chocolate cake, sipped German coffees and beers and Rhine wines, and listened to some of the world's greatest waltzes and polkas: Strauss' ‘Blue Danube’, ‘Frühlingsstimmen’, ‘Emperor Waltz’, ‘Pizzicato Polka’, and Waldteufel's ‘Les Patineurs’ and ‘Dolores’ waltzes, to name a few. The audience was attentive and appreciate and I especially enjoyed sitting at the tables and chatting with many music lovers during my breaks". Festival Co-Chairman Raymond Luniewski wrote, "Once again, the Viennese Café area of the Erie German Heritage Festival featured Henry Doktorski on the accordion. We were so very pleased to have Mr. Doktorski with us once again and glad to see the large amount of people who came into the café and sat and enjoyed his waltzes, marches and more! And just for good measure a few Deiro pieces too! Henry's all around performance was outstanding as usual and numerous musicians also stopped throughout the weekend to admire his virtuosity and mastering of the accordion. We hope to keep him an integral part of the festival for years to come!" |

| For the 4th consecutive year, the association Atout Vent organized an accordion training course at the Domaine de Kermenguy in Lézardrieux, Brittany, from August 22nd to 29th. The team of teachers included Angélique Goardou, Delphine Doublot, Camille Privat, Alexander Monnier, Nicolas Lebret, and Damien Petiteau. There were 27 students present, who came from all parts of France. Some of the students were preparing for competitions, and others were seeking self improvement as musicians. The trainees took part in different workshops that included tango, musical formation, and accordion styles, and all participated in an accordion orchestra. The course proved very beneficial for all involved. During the week of training a concert took place in the Cathedral of Tréguier. This concert began with a tango performed by the students and their workshop teacher, Delphine Doublot. Young classical virtuoso Sébastien Taillard, preparing for his Diploma of Musical Etude in accordion and in percussion, gave a solo performance. Maryll Abbas, a student of Camille Privat, dazzled the audience with an entertaining jazz set. She is currently preparing for the International Grand Prix of Castelfidrado in Italy. To close the concert, Camille Privat, winner of the CMA Trophée Mondial de l’Accordéon, interpreted some pieces of the Baroque era and Viatcheslav Semionov. Camille has recently recorded a double CD of variety and classical music. Alexander Monnier, MD of the orchestra, came to rejoin the musicians for a final number that made the audience of about 450 people sing. For further information email: atout.vent@yahoo.fr |
