Один счастливчик выиграет путешествие в Рим (Италия), где выступит на Международном фестивале 7-8 ноября. Также победитель получит в подарок новый инструмент Roland FR-7 или FR-7b V-Accordion. Участники от 18 лет и старше будут выступать в категории Старших Солистов и получат шанс выиграть приз размером 5000 евро.

Alexander Korbakov at Stockport Accordion Club, England - UKby Rob Howard |
Alexander Korbakov, from St Petersburg, Russia, has become a welcome visitor to accordion clubs and festivals in the UK, winning over audiences with his presentation, personality and playing technique. His latest tour included concerts in accordion clubs, churches, and also in some primary schools, where he has introduced the accordion to schoolchildren with spellbinding and spectacular performances. At Stockport Accordion Club, on June 11th, Alexander Korbakov enthralled his audience with a truly wonderful performance. His first half was essentially a classical programme, which began with a very fluid interpretation of ‘Prelude and Fugue in G minor’, by JS Bach. Alexander quickly relaxed into his performance and, aided by very good acoustics, followed with ‘Winter’ - Vivaldi, ‘Ave Maria – G. Caccini, ‘Rondo a la Turka’ – Mozart, ‘The Barber of Seville’ – Rossini, and ‘Sabre Dance’ – Kachaturian. The second half saw Alexander Korbakov playing mainly Russian folk tunes, including ‘Casatchok’, ‘Kalinka’, etc, plus the contrasting ‘Fiddle Faddle’ – Leroy Anderson, and two splendid impromptu duets with leading concertina player John Nixon: ‘A Man and a Woman’ and ‘Besame Mucho’. His performance displayed an abundance of musicality, and at the concert’s end, Alexander received a standing ovation and an unprecedented three encores. He commented that English audiences are his most appreciative. Alexander Korbakov’s remaining tour dates include: 14th, 8pm – Soar Valley Accordion Club, Rothley Village Hall, Leicestershire 18th, 7.30pm – Horningsea Church, Cambridge 19th, 7.30pm – Harlow Accordion Club, Links Social Club, Essex 20th, 7pm – Guildford Accordion Club, Village Hall, Ripley, Surrey For further information email: robaccord5@hotmail.com |

The 3-piece Concerto, with his ‘modern’ periodic structure of the 1st part, the swinging ‘Sicilino’, and the inspired tirades and expressive melodies of the last in the French dance is a refreshingly and subtle work of the great master.
