Video: Jörgen Sundeqvist, Success for the Accordion King at Norrlandsoperan - Swedenby Curt Ivan Ericsson |
 |
| Some translated excerpts from the Accordion Magazine "Dragspelsnytt" Nr. 2, 2016, review by Curt Ivan Ericsson The Accordion King (composed by Fredrik Högberg), an innovative multimedia work for accordion and symphony orchestra, was very successful before a full audience at Norrland Opera in Umeå, 4th February. The concert began with music by the Norrland Opera Symphony Orchestra conducted by Elim Chan, the first female winner of the Donatella Flick London Symphon Orchestra Conducting Competition. So we waited for our accordion virtuoso Jörgen Sundeqvist, soloist in The Accordion King. It was noticeable that the relatively young crowd in the packed concert hall was most excited and interested in Fredrik Högberg's Accordion King. The concert was almost sold out. It is quite unusual for the accordion, but wonderfully gratifying. The audience with a lot of musicians from both far and near had come to Umeå. The Accordion King is well varied and Fredrik Högberg has composed his accordion part requiring phenomenal technique which Jörgen Sundeqvist executed masterfully. There was superb orchestral playing with surprising sounds, awesomely fast paced. Jörgen made it elegant and earned the audience's standing ovation. The world premiere of this work, also by Jörgen Sundeqvist, was held in 2015.
