 In June the 11th Music Award DAM competition, organised by the German Harmonica Association in connection with the accordion teacher association, took place in Baden-Baden. Michael Rettig was one of the outstanding competitors.As the youngest participant (18 years), Michael Rettig for the first time competed in the Professional Virtuoso category, and reached 49 out of 50 points, winning this section. As already announced in www.diatonic-news.com, this was his second major success in 2009, winning in May the world championship of the diatonic accordion in St. Kanzian/Carinthia-Austria. His program, under the guidance of his teacher Vitali Neifert, included pieces by Bach, Repnikov, Meisl, Marocco, Piazzolla, Vlasov, and Gridin. If you would like further information about him or his two extraordinary CDs, ‘Harmonica Rally’ and ’Record Time’, then write to: management@michael-rettig.de Other successful students of Vitali Neifert were Thomas Schmelzle, who came second in the ‘Standard Bass’ category, out of 43 participants, and winner of the ‘Melodic Bass’ category, out of 27 participants, and 11 years old David Kiefer (middle of photo), who participated in already 2 categories, achieving excellent results.
