Øivind Farmen Neue CD "Mein klassisches Akkordeon" - Norwegenby Harley Jones |
 Øivind Farmen war in den letzten 30 Jahren einer der führenden norwegischen Akkordeonisten mit großem internationalen Renommee. Elf Jahre sind seit seinem letzten Soloalbum vergangen. Er fühlte, dass jetzt die Zeit reif ist, eine persönliche Auswahl von Werken aus seinem derzeitigen Repertoire zu treffen, die zu dem Album "My Classical Accordion" geworden ist.Das Repertoire besteht aus Musik, die Øivind Farmen gerne spielt und zu der er aus verschiedenen Gründen eine starke persönliche Bindung empfindet. Die meisten Werke sind Ersteinspielungen für das Akkordeon, und einige der Musikstücke sind Weltersteinspielungen. Die Musik reicht von der Barockzeit über die Klassik bis hin zu Komponisten unserer Zeit. |
