 Accordions Worldwide would like to extend their sincere condolences to CIA Past President, Kevin Friedrich following the passing of his mother Valerie Friedrich (87 years) on December 15th, 2020 at their family home in Baylys Beach, Northland, New Zealand after a short (non Covid) illness.Valerie and her late husband Athol were keen supporters of not only Kevin Friedrich's many accordion activities which have made such an important contribution to the accordion world, but also to the many accordion, arts and music activities held in Dargaville over many decades. Despite her illness, Valerie Friedrich attended Kevin’s “Sounds of the Season” Christmas Concert at the Dargaville Museum Lighthouse Function Centre on November 22nd and enjoyed every minute of the concert. A service was held at the Lighthouse Function Centre on December 20th, where her life was celebrated, including with performances by Kevin and long time friend of the family Lionel Reekie (vocals/accordion). We extend our deepest sympathies to Kevin Friedrich and the large extended family of Valerie Friedrich. |

 Accordion for Beethoven is a project led by Patrizia Angeloni (picture above, concert performer and Professor of Accordion at Conservatorio "O. Respighi" in Latina, Italy) including a limited edition CD in addition to a digital audio and a score collection. Accordion for Beethoven is published by Ars Spoletium Music Publishing, supported by Strumenti&Musica Magazine, Nuovo C.D.M.I. (New Italian Music Teaching Center) and IAC (Italian Accordion Culture).Patrizia Angeloni writes: "Just two years had passed since the death of Ludwig van Beethoven, when in Vienna Cyrill Demian registered in 1829 the patent of his Akkordeon, an instrument that matured over time, to configure the modern concert accordion. Almost two centuries later, the accordion offers Beethoven, on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of his birth, the originality and the sound plasticity of a polyphonic instrument, with its continous sound and its immediate dynamic variability, an instrument synthesis of the expressive modes of keyboards, wind and string instruments. The Accordion for Beethoven collection integrates a transcription repertoire in which the original work is placed in a new reading, sometimes in rewriting operations in which the accordion expresses itself more in its nature as an instrumental ensemble than in that of the modern portable organ, in the sign of the attention to instrumental music and orchestration care of which the Beethoven opera is steeped." Accordion for Beethoven Collection contains: Fünf Stücke für Flötenuhr (2 acc.) transcription by Umberto Turchi Preludio (2 acc.) transcription by Ivano Paterno Sei Variazioni su "Nel cor più non mi sento" (solo acc.) transcription by Ivano Battiston Ich liebe dich (fl. Acc) transcription by Ivano Battiston Variazioni su Schöne Minka (fl. Acc.) transcription by Ivano Battiston Adelaïde (soprano, acc) transcription by Ivano Battiston Piccoli pezzi (solo acc.) transcription by Ivano Battiston Performers include: Patrizia Angeloni, Ivano Battiston, Ivano Paterno, Umberto Turchi, Roberto Fabbriciani (flute), Liana Maeran (soprano).

Ivan Hut, conductor.Video 2: Impressions and interview after the performance with ccomposer Aleksandr Nagaev. Information from the website of Oleg Lysenko: Oleg Lysenko (1974, Ukraine) attended music college in Poltava, where he won a scholarship for the renowned Tchaikovsky National Music Academy in Kiev. After his graduation, in 1999, he published his first CD, ‘Awakening’, and continued his studies in the Netherlands, where he specialised in Argentinian tango and learned to play bandoneon as well. Together with fellow-students he won third price in the International Accordeon Competition (IAC) in Castelfidardo, Italy. Two years later, Oleg entered the competition again as a soloist and won first price with his interpretation of Victor Vlasov’s ‘Five Views on the Land of the Gulag Archipelago’, which has since become the titlepiece of his most recent CD. Some highlights of Oleg’s career include a guest performance with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, together with the Russian bariton Dmitry Hvorostovsky. He appeared in the radio programme Spiegelzaal, broadcast from the ‘hall of mirrors’ of the national Concert Hall in amsterdam by the AVRO on radio 4, as well as in the VPRO television programma Vrije Geluiden. |
