Suomi 100 - Väyrynen 50 - Finnland

Composers
Mika Väyrynen with Finnish General Pasi VälimäkiAm 11. Oktober 2017 präsentierte der finnische Akkordeonist Mika Väyrynen in Helsinki ein monumentales Konzert mit dem Titel "Suomi 100 - Väyrynen 50" zu Ehren des 100. Geburtstags von Finnland und seinem 50. Geburtstagsfeier. Das Programm enthielt mehrere Weltpremieren und stellte einige der bekanntesten Komponisten Finnlands vor, die auch anwesend waren.

Bilder rechts: Mika Väyrynen im Konzert, Mika mit dem finnischen General Pasi Välimäki

Mika Väyrynen hat Hunderte von Liederabenden in Finnland, Europa, Asien und den Vereinigten Staaten gegeben. Er ist einer der international bekanntesten Akkordeonisten Finnlands und mit fast jedem finnischen Orchester aufgetreten. Um das 100-jährige Jubiläum Finnlands zu würdigen, führte Mika folgende finnische Werke durch:

Lamento (2017) von Harri Wessman (* 1949). Als Mika den Komponisten Wessman bat ein Stück für sein Konzert zu schreiben, bat er um ein schönes Stück, das seinem Freund Jouni Kaipainen als Erinnerung dienen sollte. Lamento spiegelt Kaipainens strukturelle Intensität im Stil wider, während im Geist eine melancholische Wahrheit darüber reflektiert wird, wie wir alle diese Welt irgendwann verlassen werden, im Fall von Jouni Kaipainen jedoch zu früh.

Gena, Op. 31 (1987), Vento, Op. 58 (1998) und Placido, Op. 68 (2003) von Jouni Kaipainen (1956-2015). Gena war Kaipainens erste Akkordeon-Komposition, aber er erklärte, eswar eine so angenehme Erfahrung, er wusste, dass es nicht seine letzte sein würde. Vento (Wind) inspirierte Kaipainen dazu, an Dinge zu denken, die er nie zuvor geschrieben hatte, und Placido (ruhig), auch für Mika geschrieben.

Erinnerungen und Freundschaft (2017) von Juha Salmesvuori (* 1965). Salmsvuoris 20-jährige Freundschaft mit Mika wurde nach einer Abwesenheit neu entfacht und dies motivierte ihn, Erinnerungen und Freundschaft zu komponieren. Der mittlere Teil "Wiegenlied des Weltraums" ist den bereits verstorbenen Freunden gewidmet, während der letzte Teil Sie wieder "nach Hause" bringt und die beiden Motive widerspiegelt, die im ersten Teil vorgestellt wurden.



Sonate Nr. 2 - "Dead on Time" (2017) von Paavo Korpijaakko. Diese Arbeit ist der Höhepunkt der langen, fruchtbaren Zusammenarbeit von Paavo und Mika. An Mika gewidmet, bezieht sich der Name auf die rücksichtslosen Zeiten und die allgemeine Traurigkeit der Menschen. In drei Sätzen ist (1) Toccata dynamisch und rhythmisch voller Leben, während (2) Meditation eine sich langsam bewegende Struktur hat, während (3) "Burning Papyrus" den Namen der Komposition erklärt, Wissen verschwindet, wenn die Flammen größer werden und die geschriebene Musik wegbrennt.

Velocita (2017) von Eero Hämeenniemi (* 1951). Mika gratulierte mit herzlichen Glückwünschen zu seinem 50. Geburtstag und machte sich auf den Weg zu Mikas energischem und dynamischem Musikerlebnis.

Mika präsentierte zwei Zugaben, darunter die Weltpremiere von La Storia Della Squola Della Mia Vita von Veli Kujala und sein eigenes Arrangement der bekannten Nuoruusmuistoja von Lasse Pihlajamaa.

Zu dem Konzert kam die Veröffentlichung von Mikas neuester CD, in der die kompletten Solo Akkordeon Werke von Jouni Kaipainen aufgeführt wurden.

Im Anschluss an das Konzert trafen sich die eingeladenen Gäste Mika zu einem Empfang und einem Abendessen. Von seinen Freunden, den Komponisten und anderen Würdenträgern wie dem finnischen General Pasi Välimäki und dem früheren Sieger des Karajan-Wettbewerbs, Maestro Okko Kamu, Mika, wurde Mikka der CIA Merit Award von CIA-Funktionären Kevin Friedrich (Botschafter USA) Österreich) und Kimmo Mattila (Generalsekretär Finnland) überreicht.

Der CIA Merit Award bestätigt Mikas Karriere als einer der führenden Akkordeonisten von heute als Solist, Kammermusiker und mit dem Sinfonieorchester als Künstler.

Videoaufzeichnungen und eine archivierte Radiosendung des Konzerts werden in Kürze verfügbar sein.

Moreschi accordions were exhibiting at Music China in Shanghai for the first time. Their booth was amongst a strong Italian accordion presence at the show. Asked whether they would be back next year, sales manager Fausto Fabi said they had a “sell-out“ show and therefore certainly yes. Other manufacturers also seemed happy with their business.

Raymond and Anna Bodell, First Husband and Wife to Receive CIA Awards - Italy

Ann BodellAt the recent Coupe Mondiale in Osimo, Italy, Raymond Bodell, retiring President of the Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA) was awarded the CIA Merit Award for his 8 years of Presidency and his many years of service in other CIA positions.

The same evening, Anna Bodell was presented the CIA Honored Friend of the Accordion Award for her national and international service.

The presentation took a very romantic turn when Raymond made a very loving and romantic thank you to his wife Anna. Who said the age of love and romance was no longer alive! as a tear came to my eyes.

This is the first time in the 82 year history of the CIA that a married couple have been honored by the CIA for their important contribution to the accordion.

New CIA President Mirco Patarini also made a presentation to Raymond Bodell of a beautiful accordion artwork and in reply, Raymond Bodell made a good humoured presentation to Mirco Patarini, of the official CIA gavel, used at each CIA International Congress.

The good work of Raymond and Anna Bodell will not cease, with Anna Bodell continuing as Chairperson of the NAO and Raymond Bodell being appointed to the new CIA Advisory Council with Kevin Friedrich and Joan Sommers.

Lucky things that happened on 'unlucky' Friday the 13th

World Accordion Day logoExcerpt from an article by Brian Hickey, PhillyVoice.com

Lucky things that happened on 'unlucky' Friday the 13th:
The accordion was patented on a Friday the 13th in January 1854 right here in Philadelphia! (Editor: original patent date in the USA). And, say what you will – the accordion is gonna have a birth of coolness, just you wait and see.

(Editor: further background) Since 2009, each May 6th, the CIA has been promoting World Accordion Day. The first World Accordion Day was held on 6th May 2009, marking the 180th birthday of the accordion - May 6th 1829, was the date the accordion was first patented, in Vienna, Austria, by Cyrillius Demien.
