Video: Viivi Maria Saarenkylä & Savonlinna Orchestra - Finlandby Harley Jones |
Video 2:
 Video 1: World premiere of the symphonic version of ‘Anantango’, composed by well known Spanish accordionist Gorka Hermosa, was performed by Viivi Maria Saarenkylä and the Savonlinna Orchestra directed by Hannu Vesioja on Sunday January 31st, 3pm.Video 2: Tango Italiano composed by Renzo Ruggieri Excerpts from a concert review in the local newspaper Itä-Savo by Esko Alanen, translated to English. "Seems like Sunday afternoon in January was well chosen time for a concert by the Savonlinna Orchestra and the accordion virtuoso Viivi Maria Saarenkylä, as the concert was sold out. No doubt the majority of the audience were there to listen to the accordion performance of Saarenkylä, who is originally from Savonlinna and has already gained success internationally. Expectations were high and not for nothing. Saarenkylä played gracefully and expressively. Fast patterns and motifs were Saarenkylä’s trademark in every piece. However virtuosity was not the purpose. Saarenkylä gave priority to the interpretation of each composition and the audience could listen the latin rhythms swinging smoothly and rich in nuances. Liaison with the orchestra was seamless even despite some rather difficult rhythms. Size of the orchestra was perfect for accompanying the accordion and the balance was good with good hall acoustics. Especially memorable was Renzo Ruggieri’s composition Tango Italiano. It was nice to hear the well-known classic Libertango (Piazzolla) and the last piece Tico Tico (Z. Abreu) brought the concert hall a true joy of carnival!” Accordion CD available online at: Viivi Maria Saarenkylä |
