Герой для многих, Андре Вершурен (André Verchuren – 1920-2013), Шантильи – Франция



André VerchurenЗвезда звукозаписи, Кавалер ордена Почетного легиона, популярный баянист и музыкант - герой для многих.

Ветеран французского баяна Андре Вершурен, родившийся 28 декабря 1920 года в Нейи-су-Клермон, Уаза, Франция, умер в Шантильи (Уаза) 10 июля 2013 года в возрасте 92 лет. Сын баяниста, Вершурен начал играть на баяне в возрасте 4 лет и вскоре играл на танцах со своим отцом Рэймондом.

Немного баянистов во всем мире могут сравниться с Вершуреном в долголетии артистической карьеры. Вершурен впервые выступил перед публикой в 1927 году, в начале 1930-х годов он выступал на балах и в парижских кафе, играя мюзеты и популярные французские ginguettes. И еще совсем недавно он брал в руки инструмент.

В 1930-е Вершурен принял участие и выиграл в нескольких конкурсах, в том числе конкурс в Брюсселе в 1934 году, на котором победу и титул Чемпиона Мира ему вручил король Бельгии Леопольд III. В 2007 году он отметил 80-летие своей карьеры юбилейным концертом в Олимпии в Париже.

Во время Второй мировой войны Вершурен был членом Сопротивления. В июле 1944 года он был арестован гестапо, подвергся пыткам, и в числе 2566 человек был отправлен на поезде в концентрационный лагерь Дахау. В путешествии в таких тяжелейших условиях выжили лишь 1630 человек.

Позже Вершурен стал обладателем ордена Рыцаря Почетного Легиона, был награжден Военной Медалью и Крестом Волонтеров бойцов сопротивления за свои военные заслуги. После освобождения Вершурен вернулся в Париж, чтобы возобновить свои исполнительскую карьеру, которая стремительно взлетела в конце 1940-х и 50-х годов, хотя ему потребовалось несколько лет, чтобы полностью восстановить гибкость пальцев.

Андре Вершурен, главным образом артист и шоумен был чрезвычайно влиятельным баянистом своего поколения во Франции и других странах. Хотя обычно его имя связывают с жанром мюзет, он был хорошим исполнителем классической и латиноамериканской музыки.

Он стал очень популярным благодаря многочисленным концертам, выступлениям на радио и телевидении, а также продажам его аудио и видео записей. В послевоенные годы Вершурен, опередивший свое время, открыл собственную студию звукозаписи и сделал огромное количество записей, разошедшихся тиражом в 50 миллионов.

Вершурен также исполнил партии аккордеона в нескольких фильмах, а его автобиография ‘Mon Accordéon Et Moi’ («Мой аккордеон и я») был опубликована в 1967 году.

Жена Вершурена погибла в автомобильной катастрофе в 1974 году. У него остались сыновья Гарри Уильямс и Андре Вершурен младший, оба превосходные аккордеонисты. Первый из них был назван в честь Гарри Уильямса, погибшего на войне пилота RAF, который был другом с Андре.

Хит Мартинаса Левикиса (Martynas Levickis) возглавил Клаcсические Чарты, Лондон – Великобритания

Martynas Levickis CD coverМартинас Левикис – аккордеонист литовского происхождения, недавний выпускник Королевской Академии Музыки в Лондоне, поднялся на первое место в британских классических чартах со своим новым CD ‘Martynas’, выпущенных компанией Decca, который продается лучше, чем записи Кэтрин Дженкинс (Katherine Jenkins) и Лондонского Симфонического Оркестра.

Победитель телешоу ‘Lithuania’s Got Talent’ Мартинас становится послом аккордеонного искусства, а его новый компакт-диск включает в себя популярную классику и смесь из других композиций, включая транскрипцию поп-хитов Леди Гага и Кэти Перри.

На диск вошли: «Венгерский танец № 5 соль минор» И. Брамса, темы из оперы «Сила судьбы», Хабанера из оперы «Кармен», «Кумпарсита», танго "Por Una Cabeza" - Карлоса Гарделя, ‘Telephone’, ‘Ai Se Eu Te Pego’ (‘Nossa Nossa’), «Хава Нагила», «Ария для струнных» И. С. Баха, «Турецкое рондо» В.А. Моцарта, “La Califfa” (из "Cinema Paradiso") Э. Морриконе, ‘Hot 'N' Cold’ Кэти Перри, «Чардаш» В. Монти, ‘Parlez-Moi d'Amour’, "Allegretto" Л. Бетховена, «Зима» А. - Вивальди.

Мартинас Левикис играет на акустическом аккордеоне фирмы Pigini, и среди его успехов – победы на «Кубке мира» в категории «Клавишный аккордеон» в Вараждине, Хорватия, в 2010 году.

Отчет о Всемирном Аккордеонном Фестивале, Кастельфидардо – Италия

World of Accordion Festival posterОтчет о фестиваль и фотографии можно посмотреть по адресу: 2013woa
Программа фестиваля на: 2013program_woa.pdf

На прошлой неделе завершился новый музыкальный фестиваль "World of Accordion", который стартовал 29 июня 2013 года в Кастельфидардо и продолжался до воскресенья 7 июля.

Все посетители фестиваля WOA могли насладиться не только жаркой летней неделей, но и музыкой различных стилей, а также красивыми и талантливыми артистами со всего мира.

Последние 3 дня фестиваля были посвящены джазу и мировой, развлекательной и популярной, а в воскресенье также фольклорной музыке.

Последним развлечением этого нового мероприятия, организованного президентом фабрики Victoria Эльке Аренгольц (Elke Ahrenholz) стала попытка побить мировой рекорд Гиннеса – 1200 аккордеонистов должны были выступить перед зданием мэрии Кастельфидардо в присутствии мэра Мирко Сопрани.

Музыкантам удалось побить итальянский рекорд, но собрать 1200 участников не получиось. В любом случае это был веселый аттракцион для участников и многочисленных зрителей.

Приятно было видеть, что многие аккордеонные фабрики приняли участие в этом событии (см. фотоотчет).

Joseph Macerollo to Receive the ‘Order of Canada’, Ottawa - Canada

Joseph MacerolloCanadian accordionist and educator Joseph Macerollo has been awarded the ‘Order of Canada’ "for his pioneering achievements as a musician and educator, and for bringing the classical accordion to Canadian concert halls," according to a citation by David Lloyd Johnston, the Governor-General of Canada.

Joseph Macerollo will receive the ‘Order of Canada’ at a ceremony at Rideau Hall, Ottawa, in the autumn.

After sitting on the news since April, Joseph can finally talk about his award since the Governor General's office released the names of recipients late last week. "I was sworn to secrecy. I couldn't tell my Dad, my brothers or sisters. It was hard work keeping this quiet. I'm in awe. It's one of those rare things that happens to individuals. You just never think it will happen to you," he said.

Joseph Macerollo (born 1944), has long been one of Canada’s leading concert accordionists and teachers. As a musician, he has performed with many artists, ensembles and orchestras in addition to much solo work, and he has taught extensively at colleges and universities.

For many years Macerollo has striven to promote the development and use of the free bass accordion. Macerollo has also composed and performed the music for several movie and TV scores.

He has been Vice-President, 1970-4, of the CIA and President, 1974-77, of the Canadian Accordion Teachers' Association.

Puhoi Celebrates 150 Years – New Zealand

Photos above: pictures of accordion in the famous Puhoi Hotel and a feature article in New Zealands largest newspaper. Lower is a book by local author Diane Krippner.

150 years ago a boatload of settlers from Bohemia who had spent 4 months without making landfall were dropped off at midnight (because of the tides) at what has become the settlement of Puhoi.

They had nothing, most importantly no food, and the local Maoris took pity on them and helped them through the winter until they could grow food. The hard working immigrants cleared the land of scrub and huge kauri trees and created gardens and pasture, built the church, school house, library and museum, which all still stand today.

Significantly they bought their music with them and accordion was a mainstay of this. The local pub was famous for its music bands which all included accordionists. A display of the early instruments resides in a kauri display case at the Dargaville museum.

The celebrations started on Friday evening at the Pub and continued at the church the next morning. Many people dressed in period costume. On Sunday at the Puhoi Market well known accordionist Heather Gladstone (picture below) and Roger Buckton (dudlesac), who had come from Christchurch to perform as ‘Folkworks’ from 9am to 11am.

This was followed by the Ohaupo Bohemian Band from 11am, who had two accordionists playing also. On sale were books of the areas also featuring the accordion music as well as a CD of the band from the pub with its accordionists.

‘14 Years Ago’ –Accordionists perform at India’s ‘World Music Day’ in 1999

The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending July 9th 1999 reported that accordionists M. B. Prakash and P. Ravindra performed in a World Music Day concert held in Bangalore, India. We know that accordions are played in India, and the instrument fits well into the country’s traditional folk music, but we rarely get to know about accordion activity there. Can anyone in India let Accordions Worldwide know what goes on?

World Music Day - India
Contributed by Ravindra Rao

Accordionists M. B. Prakash and P. Ravindra (India) celebrated World Music Day in June with concerts in Bangalore with other musicians who performed a variety of music such as Indian classical, folk and western folk.

The duo concert included polkas, waltzes, tarantellas and landlers. The concert was well received, especially by the French people present, who felt they were at home with music rendered with great authenticity. The response was so positive that the organizers have requested the duo perform again for the next World Music Day.
