 Popular New Zealand accordionist and singer Lionel Reekie performed to a sell out crowd at the Novosibirsk Philharmonia, on Friday 4th January. Singing with the Russian Academic Orchestra, the concert featured songs from Lionel's album "From Russia With Love" (songs from stage and screen).Picture above is: head of the Russian Academic orchestra Vladimir Gusev, Lionel Reekie and accordion soloist Vladimir Efimov. The Russian Academic Orchestra, under the baton of Rustam Dilmukhametov is primarily made up of traditional Russian instruments including featuring accordionists. Picture left is conductor Rustam Dilmukhametov, Elena and Lionel Reekie. The concert also included a few instrumental items featuring soloists from the orchestra. Vladimir Efimov performed a well received solo to conclude the first half of the concert, although it was Lionel's performance of "Esli y vas netu teti", the theme from the beloved Russian movie "Irony of Fate" that bought the audience to it's feet demanding an additional encore. The Lionel Reekie vocal and orchestral accompaniment album 'From Russia with Love' is available on iTunes and Lionel's album featuring accordion and vocals is available online at: 'Starlight' Picture lower is all the orchestra accordionists with Lionel. |
