Friedrich Lips at 60, Moscow - Russiaby Dr Herbert Scheibenreif Manager of Friedrich Lips Productions |
 Friedrich Lips will celebrate his 60th birthday on November 18th. He is surely one of the most famous Russian bayanists, known not only in the accordion world but also in general concert music circles. For more than 30 years, Friedrich Lips has been touring the world and, thus, developing his position as an internationally renowned artiste on his instrument. The importance of Friedrich Lips' personality and musical creativity will undoubtedly be evaluated as an important factor in the course of accordion history. Even now, it can already be recognized, that Friedrich Lips, probably more than any other single person, has revolutionised the world accordion scene, developed young accordion artists, inspired established composers, and propelled young artists into the limelight. These accomplishments have been made possible by his exceptional openness, liberalism, and inner tolerance to contrary ideas. Avoiding the danger of becoming one-sided, yet continuing steadfastly to develop his own musical ideas and convince others of the merits that can be derived from a consistent and well-considered path, he has set standards and an example for the accordion world to follow. The accordion world owes much to this great teacher and icon of the concert accordion. For further information email: herbert@accordion-cd.co.at |
