Актриса и певица Гвинет Пэлтроу играет на концертине – СШАby Harley Jones |
 Мать Гвинет Пэлтроу актриса Блайт Дэннер сказала, что занятия Пэлтроу музыкой начались в 1995 году, когда она по сценарию играла на концертине в фильме "Джефферсон в Париже", в котором она сыграла главную роль.Развивая свою музыкальную карьеру, Гвинет Пэлтроу недавно подписала контракт с Atlantic Records на запись своего дебютного альбома. Оскароносная актриса привлекла внимание своим музыкальным талантом, когда на последней церемонии вручения наград Академии спела песню "Coming Home" , которая является заглавной песней в готовящемся к выходу фильме ‘Country Strong’. По сообщениям новый альбом будет в стиле кантри-поп, так что надеемся снова услышать концертину в руках Гвинет Пэлтроу. |

Ришар Гальяно (Richard Galliano) и Иегуда Оппенгеймер (Yehuda Oppenheimer) встретились спустя 45 лет – Израильby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
 |
 В 1966 году конкурс CMA «Трофей мира» проходил в Валенсии, Испания, где в категории юниоров победил 16-летнийРишар Гальяно. Обязательной пьесой для этого конкурса было произведение Иегуды Оппенгеймера под названием «Ciaccona Variations». 21 января 1966 газета сканирования слева.В 1966 году Иегуда Оппенгеймер был членом жюри и хорошо помнит, как "слушал 18исполнений Ciaccona в весьма различных интерпретациях". "Если мы посмотрим на экстраординарную карьеру всемирно признанного музыканта Ришара Гальяно, начиная с 1966 года, и на мастерство Гальяно сегодня, мы поймем, что жюри тогда безусловно сделало правильный выбор", - говорит Иегуда Оппенгеймер. После 45 лет Ришар Гальяно и Иегуда Оппенгеймер снова встретились на прошлой неделе на концерте Гальяно в Израиле, который стал частью концертного тура с камерным оркестром the Kibbutz Chamber Orchestra. На концерте были сделаны фотографии. Кроме того, нет сомнения, что музыканты также пообщались и обменялись своими CD, DVD и музыкой. Сочинения, аранжировки и CD Иегуды есть в Интернете на Yehuda Oppeneheimer. Еще два сканирует газеты: cma1966_01.jpg and cma1966_02.jpg Также читайте новости 2008 года: "Фестиваль в честь Иегуды Оппенгеймера – Израиль" http://www.accordions.com/news.aspx?d=04-Jul-2008&lang=en#art2497 |
Джон Никсон (John Nixon – 1927-2011), Чешир – Великобританияby Rob Howard |
 |
  Один из лучших в мире исполнителей на концертине, Джон Никсон, умер в субботу 5 марта в возрасте 84 лет после долгой борьбы с анемией и болезнью сердца.Родился Джон в Болтоне, Ланкашир, в 1927 году. В 1930-е годы Джон Никсон играл в ансамбле своего отца «24 strong Bolton Concertina Band», а в 1940 году состоялась первая трансляция его сольного выступления на радио BBC Манчестер. Джон Никсон был широко известен и признан одним из лучших исполнителей на концертине, с большим чувством игравшим на ней джаз. Он провел много лет в качестве сессионного музыканта и сделал записи с такими музыкантами, как Генри Манчини, Барбара Стрейзанд, Пол Маккартни, Джордж Мартин, Мишель Легран, а а также аккордеонистми, как Фрэнк Марокко, Джек Эмблоу, Гарри Хасси, и Марсель Аззола. Его игру можно услышать на саундтреках многих телевизионных программ BBC. В 1984 году Джон играл в песне Пола Маккартни ‘We All Stand Together’ – знаменитом Рождественском хите №1. В другой раз Джон был в студии с Джорджем Мартином, где совместно с аккордеонистом Марселем Аззола делал запись к фильму.
