Dr. William Schimmel: Akkordeonist für "Carousel" nominiert für 11 Tony Awards - USAby Rita Davidson Barnea |
 |
 Dr. William Schimmel, Mitglied des AAA Boards, ist der prominente Akkordeonist in der Hit Broadway Revue von "Carousel". Dieses Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel ist eine neue Orchestrierung von Jonathan Tunick, indem das Akkordeon besonders hervorgehoben wird.Ironischerweise war das Akkordeon nicht Teil der ursprünglichen Orchestrierung in der ersten und späteren Produktionen von 1945. Für das Jahr 2018 fügt das Akkordeon der dunklen Geschichte mit Erlösung am Ende, eine neue Dimension hinzu. "Carousel" wurde für 11 Tony Awards nominiert! Es handelt sich um eine multi-ethnische Besetzung mit Joshua Henry (Hamilton) als Billy Bigelow, Jessie Mueller (Beautiful) und Rene Flemming (internationale Operndiva). Die Chicago Tribune sagt: "Gott ist im Karussell". Es wurde für 12 Drama Desk Awards, 6 Outer Critic Awards und 3 Drama League Awards nominiert. Eine Cast-Aufnahme erscheint in Kürze. William Schimmel ist auch auf der neuen CD "Jarvis and Friends" zu hören, in der Schimmel und Perkussionist Peter Jarvis ihre gemeinsame Komposition "Devotional Suite" und Schimmel's New York Classical spielen. Eine zweite CD zeigt Schimmel in "Das Concerto für Akkordeon und Perkussion" von Peter Jarvis mit dem New Jersey Percussion Ensemble. Beide CDs befinden sich auf dem von Naxos vertriebenen Label The Concorders 'Concordance. |

 The annual Shand Morino Gathering takes place on Sunday May 13th, 1pm to 5pm, at The Windygates Institute, Milton Road, Windygates, Leven, Fife KY8 5DG. The event is organised by the Windygates Button-key Accordion and Fiddle Club to pay tribute to Sir Jimmy Shand (1908-2000), perhaps the world’s most famous exponent of Scottish country dance music. Shand Morino owners are invited to play at this afternoon concert.The Shand Morino is one of the most iconic of all accordions, and in the late 1930s was part designed by Jimmy Shand in collaboration with Venanzio Morino, chief designer at Hohner at the time. Jimmy Shand had an idea for improving the response of the three row diatonic accordion and together with the accordion retailer Charles Forbes (his employer at the time) and Morino they designed and built the Hohner Special in 1939. After World War Two, a design based on this instrument was mass produced by Hohner under the name ‘Shand Morino’. The Shand Morino is a British Chromatic accordion – a hybrid instrument combining a diatonic treble keyboard with a stradella bass, and is the most celebrated type of this kind of accordion. |

This video does not include the intro of the work.Renzo Ruggieri has released "Il bosco incantato" the first piece he has composed for free bass accordion. Renzo writes: "I wrote the melody for a theatrical show by Marco Goldin - to whom the piece is dedicated - on the famous painter Edward Munch. In fact, the title recalls one of his paintings "The Enchanted Forest" of 1903. Then the simple melodic idea was reworked, arranged and used for "the guided solo", a moment that the soloist can freely interpret and personalize."
