A unique and demanding project, this CD documents part of the life's work of this great and Internationally recognized composer.Jouni Kaipainen studied at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki under Aulis Sallinen and Paavo Heininen. In addition to his accordion works, Kaipainen wrote over 100 works for the Stage, Symphony Orchestra, Concertos for numerous solo instruments, Chamber music, vocal and Choral works as well as a multitude of works for various instrumental soloists. Mika knew Jouni Kaipainen from 1997 until his passing away on 23rd November 2015. During these 18 years of friendship, Mika kept in close contact with him and came to know how he wanted his music to be performed. Mika's goal in this project is to pass on these insights into the performance traditions of his works, create awareness of his accordion compositions and to pay respect to this great composer, man, influencer and friend. In celebration of his upcoming 50th Birthday, Mika is currently preparing a spectacular Gala concert "Finland 100 - Väyrynen 50" to be held at the Helsinki Music Center on October 11th, 2017 at 7:00 PM.

 Cornelius White published a very nice memory of the famous Maddalena Belfiore ( - 2007), accordion performer, teacher and AAA President. Cornelius White also referred to a very excellent interview by Kevin Friedrich at: Maddalena BelfioreCornelius White, July 13. Remembering Maddalena Belfiore-Greco. A recent program on television brought back a very poignant memory for me, where at the age of twelve, I was coaxed by my accordion teacher, (Elsie M. Bennett of New York), to enter my first American Accordionists' Association (AAA) competition. It was the first time being challenged to play a piece from memory in front of a judge and Maddalena was that judge. Her reputation preceded her as a "barracuda who could shred you to pieces with a glare!" :) Needless to say, I was scared to death, but I continued on presenting a little ditty entitled "Mammy Roll". As I sat down to play, I started out fine when all of a sudden, my mind went blank! I started again...same thing happened. I told myself, "you know this piece, you can do this", but after the third time, I still couldn't jump that hurdle. I was devastated, for I thought I had surely lost, when all of a sudden, Maddalena got up, grabbed a music stand, and placed the music in front of me. It was only then that I played the piece, noticing the area I had forgotten, and playing the rest from memory. I learned something that day. Maddalena championed me. She wanted me to win, and her heart superseded those rumors. I came in second in my division, and took home what looked like to me my "little accordion man Oscar." This was over 43 years ago, but I never forgot what that moment did for me. 3 years later, I came in 1st in an Open division which I never dreamed possible! So, because of that triggered thought, I'd like to say.... Thank you Maddalena. God Bless you, and rest in paradise.
