Заметка редактора – Гервасио Маркосиньори (Gervasio Marcosignori – 1927-2013)by Accordions Worldwide |
 Путь к славе начался для Гервасио в семь лет, когда он играл перед Бенито Муссолини в 1934 году. Восхищенный исполнением, Дуче обнял мальчика и сказал: «Bravo, Ballilla», что было тогда высшей похвалой итальянскому ребенку. Его первым учителем стал отец, Джованни. В 15 лет Гервасио Маркосиньори выиграл свой первый конкурс. За свои достижения в аккордеонном искусстве в 1959 году он получил престижную международную награду, Оскар в мире аккордеона того времени. Одной из важных его работ в тот период стала публикация трехтомника «Аккордеонная техника». Гервасио Маркосиньори знают и ценят как выдающегося исполнителя, сочетавшего техническую безупречность с уникальной интерпретацией оригинальной музыки, транскрипций и любого другого репертуара. Весь баянно-аккордеонный мир скорбит о потере выдающегося музыканта. |

Гервасио Маркосиньори (Gervasio Marcosignori – 1927-2013), Кастельфидардо – Италияby Rob Howard |
 В двух видеороликах 2006 года, расположенных выше, мы видим 79-летнего Макросиньори. Сообщество баяна и аккордеона оплакивает ушедшего от нас Гервасио Маркосиньори, возможно самого известного и любимого аккордеониста своего поколения.Гервасио Маркосиньори, называвшийся иногда «поэтом аккордеона», родился в Кастельфидардо (провинция Анкона, Италия) 3 декабря 1927 года. В юном возрасте он занимался с отцом, Джованни. В 1934 году он играл переда Бенито Муссолини и удостоился похвалы итальянского диктатора. Несмотря на военное время в 1943 году Гервасио выигрывает свой первый конкурс, а в послевоенное время становится победителем многочисленных международных конкурсов, прокладывая себе дорогу в большую концертную жизнь, становясь выдающимся исполнителем-виртуозом. В 1950-е годы Маркосиньори уже признанный артист с международной известностью, он интенсивно выступает по всей Европе и за ее пределами, оставляя о себе неизгладимое впечатление. Он также работает в жюри многих крупнейших конкурсов и фестивалей. В тот период он играет на акустических инструментах. Его имя ассоциируется с легендарными марками и моделями аккордеонов Settimio Soprani Artist VI и Scandalli Super VI. В 1959 Маркосиньори получает награду ‘Аккордеонный Оскар’ от Всемирной конфедерации аккордеона и баяна CMA за вклад в развитие аккордеонного искусства. В 1962 году Маркосиньори начинает сотрудничество с компанией Farfisa в проекте по созданию электронного аккордеона Cordovox, работавшего на транзисторах. С этого периода имя артиста ассоциируется с электронным аккордеоном, он много выступает, демонстрируя новые модели Farfisa ‘Transicord’ и ‘Syntaccordion’. На протяжении всей карьеры Маркосиньори выступает с разнообразным репертуаром. В 50-70 годы он исполняет много эстрадной европейской и латиноамериканской музыки. В 70-е он постепенно концентрируется на классическом репертуаре. Маркосиньори много выступает перед известными политическими деятелями – итальянским президентом Сандро Пертини, папой Иоанном Павлом II, королевой Елизаветой II и многими другими. Удивительно, но на протяжении всей своей блестящей карьеры Маркосиньори записывался очень редко. Его альбомы, записанные компаниями Decca (Великобритания) и Cetra (Италия): ‘Accordion Travelogue’ (1959), ‘Dancing Continental’ (1961), ‘Record of the Century’ (1962), ‘Accordion Showpieces’ (1972), ‘The Poet of the Accordion’ (1991), и ‘Encore!’ (1995). Несколько лет назад Гервасио Маркосиньори потерял свою супругу, смерть Лючии повергла его в депрессию. Никто не имел такого количество друзей, как он, однако никто и ничто не смогло заменить ему его утрату. Усилившиеся признаки деменции также мешали играть ему на прежнем высоком уровне. 8 марта итальянские СМИ сообщили о попытке самоубийства, совершенной Маркосиньори. Он скончался в госпитале Чезены 9 марта 2013 года в возрасте 85 лет. Известие повергло в шок аккордеонное сообщество, которое оплакивает уход из жизни выдающегося музыканта. |

 A classical accordion recital at London’s Royal Festival Hall is a rare event. On Sunday February 24th Martinas Levickis gave an hour-long pre-concert recital in the South Bank’s main hall before a large audience. The recital was made possible by an award from the Martin Music Scholarship Fund for promising young artists.Martynas Levickis comes from Lithuania and in his own country is already well known as the winner of the 2010 television contest, ‘Lithuania’s Got Talent’. Video above from a more recent TV performance in Lithuania. Martynas is a graduate of London’s Royal Academy of Music, tutor Owen Murray, who has won many awards including the 2010 Coupe Mondiale Piano Accordion category. His program in the Royal Festival Hall was classical beginning with César Franck’s ‘Pastoral in E major (Op.19)’, Efrem Podgaits’ ‘Sonata No.1’ and then J S Bach’s ‘Fantasia and Fugue in A minor (BWV 561)’ – three large and lengthy works. Martynas concluded his recital with a friend, Abraham McWilliams (violin), with arrangements for violin and accordion of the popular ‘Hungarian Dance No 5’, by Brahms, and ‘Jewish Folk Tunes on the Theme of Hava Nagila’. Such was the audience enthusiasm that Martynas received a standing ovation. His encore was a movement from Vivaldi’s ‘Four Seasons’, the ‘Winter Concerto’. This recital was indeed a wonderful example of refined virtuoso accordion playing. During 2013, date yet to be announced, Decca Classics (London) will release a CD by Martynas Levickis. |

 The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending March 19th 1999 included an unusual and slightly wacky article about Kim Yong-nam, South Korea’s accordion playing Santa. Eccentrics like Kim Yong-nam help make life interesting. We wonder if he is he still doing his Santa act somewhere?Musical Santa Skis at the Asian Games - South Korea Contributed by Reuters News Service Santa Claus was seen skiing and playing the accordion on the slopes of a Yongpyong, South Korean resort recently! The resort was hosting the Asian Winter Games and Kim Yong-nam (alias Santa) helped to relax competitors with his music. The Saint Nicholas impersonator claims to be Korea's first Santa Claus and said he plays over 20 musical instruments. He was also a former a professor at Sangmyung University Education College, South Korea. Since he began his musical activities on the slopes 10 years ago, Kim has suffered broken ribs, implanted steel rods in his right ankle and had all of his upper teeth replaced because of ski accidents! It seems that playing the accordion is definitely safer! (Wayne Knights, Editor) |
