‘14 Years Ago’: Henry Doktorski records the compositions of Guido Deiro, June 2001by Rob Howard |
  The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending June 8th 2001 included an announcement that US virtuoso Henry Doktorski (picture right) was in the process of recording the complete works of Guido Deiro. This monumental double CD is continues to be available from Henry Doktorski’s website.Guido Deiro CD – USA Contributed by The Classical Free-Reed Accordionist Henry Doktorski has begun recording the complete works of the great vaudeville accordionist, composer, recording artist and educator Guido Deiro (1886-1950) for a two volume compact disc set scheduled to be released in 2002. The album is being produced by the son of Guido Deiro, Count Guido Roberto Deiro, who met Doktorski when the latter performed his father's music at a recital at the City University of New York in March 2001. In May, Doktorski recorded ‘My Florence’, ‘Valse Caprice No. 1’, and ‘Egypto’, Deiro's most elaborate and ambitious work - an eight page, six minute concert fantasia for solo accordion. Doktorski said, "Guido Deiro's genius as a composer has been neglected since his unfortunate death over fifty years ago. His melodies are exquisite with a beauty that defies description. I find his original works to be well-crafted and satisfying to perform and listen to. I am grateful to Deiro's son, Guido Jr., who has made it his mission to disseminate his father's music to the world." |
