Nuevo Cd de Friedrich Lips “Viva Voce”, Moscú-Rusiaby Dr Herbert Scheibenreif Manager of Friedrich Lips Productions |
 Lips (Friedrich Lips) es uno de los más famosos Bayanistas Rusos, no solo conocido en el mundo del acordeón sino en el de la música clásica. Su último trabajo discográfico incluye trabajos de Madsen, Yannav, Ledenyov y Podgaits.El compositor Noruego Trigve Madsen escribió una Partita para dos acordeones para Lips (Friedrich Lips) y Jon Faukstad. El citado autor quiso usar elementos humorísticos para expresar lo cercanos que están los compositores Shostakovitch y Grieg tanto en estilos como en temática. Yehuda Yannay escribió más de 120 obras para diferentes instrumentos, música electrónica y música para películas. La obra “Bayannayab” está basada en el nombre Yannay y el nombre del Bayan y los cuatro acordes de estos nombres son gradualmente separados y eclipsados uno con el otro. Roman Ledeyonv y su Round Dance está referido a escenarios típicos Rusos unidos a canciones infantiles. Tanto Ledenyov y Podgaits presentan sus interesantes versiones de la Virgen María: “Ave María” El Cd “Viva Voce” contiene piezas que serán las obras obligadas para la tercera fase del 5th International Competion of Bayan and Accordion Players (2010 V International) en Moscú del 12 al 19 de Diciembre de 2010.

Alexander Cholminov-85 Aniversario-Rusiaby Herbert Scheibenreif |
 Aunque Alexander Nikolayevich Cholminov (1925) fue ampliamente reconocido como uno de los más brillantes y admirados compositores del mundo del Bayan, él básicamente escribio una sola obra para acordeón. La famosa “suite para Bayan” escrita en 1951 es firmemente establecida en los repertorios de acordeonistas de todo el mundo tocada ya por varias generaciones de los mismos.Casi medio siglo después de su estreno, Cholminov es uno de los mas eminentes compositores de operas, sinfonías y música de cámara de Rusia. En 1998 compuso su “Concierto Sinfónico para Bayan” y en 2005 su Melodía de Otoño usa una fantástica melodía de su composición para la película “Predsedatyel” Este Concierto para Bayan será tocado por primera vez en la Competición Internacional de Bayanistas y Acordeonistas de Moscú el próximo mes de Diciembre.

 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 |

| US accordionist Joe Natoli has released a new CD titled ‘Waltz for Ron’, which commemorates the late Ron Lankford and his contribution to the accordion world. Ron was renowned for his wonderful Roland customer service and love for the accordion, and Joe is seeking to assist the Lankford family with a donation of $20 plus $5 shipping/handling for the ‘Waltz For Ron’ CD. Additionally, ‘Waltz for Ron’ is now available in solo, duet, or accordion orchestra format and can be purchased from JANPress Publications at http://janpress.freeservers.com. Both the solo and the accordion orchestra recordings are included on the CD in addition to the other selections of music performed. Joe Natoli, composer/arranger/performer/publisher, was taught by prominent Ohio accordion teacher, the late Mickey Bisilia, and won the 1972 American Accordionists’ Association (AAA) US Virtuoso Accordion Championship, and was runner up in the CIA Coupe Mondiale later that same year.

Silvio Previale Concert at the Hotel Concordia, Salto – Uruguayby Rob Howard |
 |
| A Boliche LLeno... Con un importante marco de público que colmó el Restaurante del Hotel Concordia, Silvio Previale (h) acompañado por Silvio Nicolás Previale, José Luis Curubeto en percusión y con los invitados Néstor Bisio (3er. acordeón), Enrique Texo (Guitarra) y Amira Beyrutti (Piano) para algunas interpretaciones, se presentó Tangos, Polcas y Chamamé, una idea original con textos de Silvio Previale (h) que recorre la historia de las composiciones musicales interpretadas. El público que colmó el local, disfrutó de una estupenda noche de "Boliche" además de que el clima acompañó la propuesta con una noche cálida. Durante hora y media, que a los asistentes les resultó con sabor a poco, se disfrutaron de una selección de temas que incluyó obras de autoría del desaparecido maestro Silvio Previale, de Silvio Previale (h) intercalado con clásicos de la música del Río de la Plata y del Litoral en temas como "Merceditas" el chamamé de Sixto Ríos o la Polca "Pájaro Campana" de corte Paraguayo para cerrar con el clásico tango, estrenado (según la información compartida con el público) en una Noche de Boliche en el Café La Giralda de Montevideo por la orquesta de Roberto Firpo... la Cumparsita, despidiéndose los músicos del público con un Bis que fue un plus en tiempo de Vals, el Vals de Rosita Melo "Desde el Alma". Sin dudas, un eslabón mas a las actividades culturales de Salto y a este Boliches en Agosto 2010. Porque las manifestaciones culturales también suceden en el café de la esquina, el boliche del barrio o la confitería del pueblo, y esa es otra manera de aportar a la accesibilidad -tanto del disfrute- como de la producción de cultura. Por cuarto año consecutivo, durante el mes de agosto, los boliches serán un espacio de encuentro, disfrute y reflexión de los tiempos actuales. En esta edición 2010 abrirán sus puertas 48 “boliches” de todo el país, con un total de 88 actividades. El eje de la programación contó con, música y letras; recitales, lecturas, programas de radio en vivo, muestras de artes visuales, charlas, proyecciones, y ciclos de cortometrajes. Y por supuesto, de la mano de Previale, Acordeón!!! con Polcas, Tangos y Chamamé y algún que otro vals... Para más información: silviopre@hotmail.com |
