Кори Пезатуро (Cory Pesaturo) – победитель категории «Цифровой Аккордеон» на конкурсе «Кубок Мира», Окленд – Новая Зеландияby Rob Howard |
Кори Пезатуро, представляющий США на конкурсе «Кубок Мира (CIA Coupe Mondiale) 2009» в Новой Зеландии,занял первое место в категории «Цифровой аккордеон». Эта новая конкурсная категория была проспонсирована компанией Roland. Участников этой категории оценивало международное жюри. Также у каждого из присутствующих в зале был свой лист для голосования. Острая борьба шла между исполнительницей из Великобритании Ларисой Бодель (Larysa Bodell), которая выиграла зрительское голосование и в итоге заняла второе место с результатом, близким к Кори, и Сарой Ассиз (Sarah Assis) из Бразилии, занявшей 3 место. Компания Roland также проспонсировала выступление на «Кубке Мира» (Coupe Mondiale) Людовика Бейера (Ludovic Beier – Франция) в качестве приглашенного солиста. Он выступил в пятницу на Французском вечере, а также на финальном Гала-концерте. Победитель проспонсированной компанией Roland категории «Цифровой аккордеон» Кори Пезатуро является выпускником престижной Консерватории Новой Англии. Он выступал в Белом Доме перед президентом и Хиллари Клинтон по разным поводам не менее четырех раз, а также упоминается в книге миссис Клинтон «Приглашение в Белый Дом» (‘An Invitation to the White House’). Кори недавно записал два компакт-диска с саксофонистом George Garzone и его группой ‘The Fringe’.

Гарри Хасси (Harry Hussey) исполняется 80, Ноттингемшир – Великобританияby Rob Howard |
Гарри Хасси – один из самых популярных, талантливых и энергичных Британских аккордеонистов последнего времени - 13 сентября отмечает своё 80-летие. Гарри Хасси родился в 1929 году, служил в Национальной службе Королевских ВВС, приняв участие в блокаде Западного Берлина в 1948 году, и затем продолжил карьеру в качестве инспектора. Гарри начал играть на пианино по слуху в возрасте шести лет. Подростком начал играть на аккордеоне - также по слуху. Он выступал с концертами на протяжении многих лет, полностью посвятив себя аккордеону только после ухода с работы. С начала 1980-х Гарри - по-прежнему не знающий нотной грамоты - стал очень известной фигурой в аккордеонных клубах и на фестивалях Англии, где его способность импровизировать, на слух создавая сложные аранжировки музыки практически любого жанра, сделала его легендой. Гарри Хасси является одним из очень немногих аккордеонистов, играющих на концерте произведения по запросам публики без заранее запланированной программы. Хотя его имя часто упоминается в качестве джазового аккордеониста, выступления Гарри, а также его записи охватывают широкий диапазон стилей и жанров. В своей насыщенной музыкальной карьере Гарри Хасси работал с джазовыми аккордеонистами, такими, как Фрэнк Марокко (Frank Marocco) и Джек Эмблоу (Jack Emblow), с Джоном Никсоном (John Nixon) – концертина, Джорджем Чисхолмом (George Chisholm) – тромбон, певцами Энтони Ньюли (Anthony Newley), Рольфом Харрисом (Rolf Harris) и Мэттом Монро (Matt Monro), а также с кинозвездой комиком Норманом Уиздомом (Norman Wisdom). Постоянная готовность Гарри поделиться своими знаниями и талантом сделало его чрезвычайно популярной и вдохновляющей фигурой на аккордеонной сцене Великобритании. А недавно в издании ‘Accordion Profile’ под редакцией Хизер Смит (Heather Smith) он был назван «Национальным достоянием". Поздравляем, Гарри! |

Death of Francis Carpentier - Franceby Harley Jones |
Wednesday, August 12, 2009, Francis Carroll died during a trip to Italy. An accordion page turns with the death of this accordion icon of France! Francis Carpentier, who sells instruments with the Carpentier name, has been involved with the accordion for nearly seventy years. The shop in Verdun, the manufacturing, maintenance and repair of instruments were a part of his life, a life where the Francis the musician had his heart and was always animated. Some 45 years after its creation, the Accordion Club of Verdun is still working successfully. Francis had a long history of tuition with many top students appearing in competitions and on TV. Many top students have been performers on TV France 2. Selected by Eric Bouvelle, his accordions or himself are often in the spotlight on France 3 Lorraine. Living in Italy three or four months per year since 1964, Francis had the idea of collaborating closely with accordion manufacturers and these efforts were important in selling many high quality accordions annually. The new store in Verdun has a permanent stock of 250 accordions and employs five people. All maintenance and repairs is done here. Francis Carpentier will be missed for his major contribution to the accordion over many years in all facets of the accordion life of France and accordion manufacturing in Italy. |
