Veli Kujala Performs in Metropolitan Opera’s “Hamlet” - USAby Christine Johnstone |
Veli Kujala (Finland) is the accordionist performing in the Metropolitan Opera’s “Hamlet”, an adaptation of the classic play by Brett Dean (Australia) and Matthew Jocelyn which is both traditional and innovative, elegant and passionate. The first reviews have been published and the accordion is mentioned by the New York Times “So many of Dean’s ideas are inspired, like adding the forlorn country lilt of an accordionist (Veli Kujala) to the scene in which Hamlet corrals a traveling troupe of actors to put on an evocation of his father’s murder” and on Opera Wire “There are experimental passages….such as the entire play sequence wherein an accordion is the main, and sometimes only, musical presence”. The whole production takes place at the Metropolitan Opera House, Lincoln Center, Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York. Future live performances will be held on May 21st, 26th and 31st as well as June 4th and 9th, 2022.

Duo Aliada Inspires with J.S. Bach's "Goldberg Variations" - Austriaby Dr Herbert Scheibenreif Manager of Friedrich Lips Productions |
On May 11th, 2022, Duo Aliada performed J.S.Bach’s Goldberg Variations at the Casino Baumgarten in Vienna, Austria. The aim of the duo Aliada is to juxtapose two neglected classical instruments such as the accordion and the saxophone in a duo formation and to use the "almost infinite possibilities in terms of timbre and dynamic range". Bogdan Laketic (Serbia) and Michal Knot (Poland) won 1st prize at the Fidelio competition in Vienna in 2013, which was the start of their international career with international festival performances and CD recordings. The "Goldberg Variations" belong to J.S. Bach's most important large-scale works for a keyboard instrument. The theme, which artistically undergoes 30 modifications, is an "Aria" in triple time of the Sarabande, which already appears in Anna Magdalena Bach's music book from 1725. In the arrangement for accordion and saxophone, the Aliada duo, aware of Bach's affinity for arranging his own works, continue this tradition while shedding a new light on this masterpiece by presenting the "Goldberg Variations" with a dimension of timbre and expressiveness, which can only be achieved with saxophone and accordion. |
