Бренды Scandalli и Paolo Soprani больше не под одной крышей, Кастельфидардо – Италияby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
 Два знаменитых итальянских бренда Scandalli и Paolo Soprani много лет производились и продавались одной компанией - Menghini srl, позднее переименованной в Suoni srl. Тем удивительнее было обнаружить во время последней выставки музыкальных инструментов и оборудования Frankfurt Musikmesse, что Scandalli выставлялся на собственном корпоративном стенде, а Paolo Soprani на стенде фирмы Pasco Italia. Фаусто Фаби (Fausto Fabi), занимающийся продажами и маркетингом обоих брендов, и работавший с утра до вечера на обоих этих стендах, разъяснил ситуацию так: “Это разделение брендов – абсолютно логичное изменение. В течение нескольких лет до и после слияния компаний Menghini и SEM в одну компанию Suoni srl казалось, что одна фирма может производить полный спектр инструментов от диатонических гармоник до клавишных аккордеонов, электронных и готово-выборных баянов. Это была несбыточная мечта. Пару лет назад бренд SEM был закрыт, а некоторые его модели продолжали производиться под марками Scandalli и Paolo Soprani. Но даже эта рационализация производства оказалось недостаточной. Трудности управления с точки зрения логистики и маркетинга сохранялись – особенно на фоне успеха моделей Scandalli Conservatorio и диатонических моделей Paolo Soprani – два типа продуктов на противоположных концах аккордеонно-баянного спектра. Поэтому последняя реорганизация в компанию Scandalli srl была проведена для сосредоточения усилий на производстве классических моделей и профессиональных инструментов. Акцент был сделан на производство инструментов самого высокого качества, что видно из нового каталога, представленного на шоу. В настоящее время компания носит название Scandalli srl, её основной email: info@scandalli.com. Прочие детали остались прежними. Бренд Paolo Soprani передан компании Pasco Italia, которая полна решимости вдохнуть новую жизнь в этот легендарный бренд итальянской аккордеонной индустрии. Кстати, через 2 года Paolo Soprani отметит 150-летие, так что активизация производства под этим брендом станет большим делом и почетной обязанностью людей, взявшихся за это. Имеющиеся модели будут обновлены, вскоре будут представлены и новые модели, учитывающие запросы нового, молодого поколения исполнителей, но, прежде всего, сохраняющие наследие итальянского аккордеона. Компания Pasco Italia переехала на новый адрес в Кастельфидардо - Via Aldo Moro и её новый email: paolosoprani@pascoita.com “ |

 ‘Midnight Tango’, starring dancers Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace of BBC TV's ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ fame, recently began a UK tour. I was fortunate to see a performance at The Lowry Theatre in Salford, Lancashire, on April 18th. The company of ten dancers and the on stage quartet ‘Tango Siempre’, featuring bandoneonist Julian Rowlands, put on a show of dazzling virtuosity. The set is a café in Buenos Aires, and the dancers performed a beautifully choreographed and athletic series of tangos, accompanied by music that was a balanced mix of classic tangos such as ‘La Cumparsita, ‘El Choclo’, ‘A Media Luz’, and ‘Jealousy’, alongside tango nuevo compositions, including Piazzolla’s ‘Oblivion’ and ‘Libertango’, and similar contemporary pieces. The show tells a story, with action rather than dialogue, the atmosphere created is convincing, and the music and dancing are electrifying, passionate and beguiling throughout. The tour dates (some theatres include matinees) are: April 26th to 30th, 7.30pm - Alhambra Theatre, Bradford, West Yorkshire May 3rd to 7th – Lyceum, Sheffield May 10th to 14th, 8pm - New Victoria, Woking, Surrey May 17th to 21st, 7.30pm - Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham May 23rd to 28th, 7.30pm – Birmingham Hippodrome May 31st to June 4th, 7.30pm - Plymouth Pavilions June 7th to 11th, 7.30pm - Sunderland Empire June 14th to 18th - Milton Keynes Theatre June 20th and 21st, 7.30pm – Brighton Centre June 23rd to 25th, 7.30pm - Millennium Centre, Cardiff, Wales June 28th to July 2nd, 7.30pm - Playhouse Theatre, Edinburgh, Scotland July 5th to 9th – Norwich Theatre Royal July 12th to 16th, 7.30pm – Bristol Hippodrome July 19th to 23rd – Cliffs Pavilion, Southend July 26th to 30th, 7.30pm King’s Theatre, Glasgow, Scotland |

 The stage musical ‘Victor Victoria’, based on the 1982 movie, both starring Julie Andrews, has a score for accordion, written by Henry Mancini. The news for the week ending April 25th 1997 reminds us of this fact, also mentioning that the American accordionist Guy Kluscevsek has played in the orchestra pit for this show. Guy Kluscevsek is still very much active in the accordion world, and often sends us news. ‘VICTOR VICTORIA’ USES BOTH ACCORDION AND BASS ACCORDION - USA Contributed by Faithe Deffner, President of the American Accordionists' Association The hit Broadway musical ‘Victor Victoria’, starring the fabulous Julie Andrews, is quite accordion friendly. Composer-accordionist Guy Kluscevsek, who sometimes fills in as a pit musician at this show, relates that the "Henry Mancini score as arranged by Billy Byers, has a chair for synth/accordion/bass accordion". Guy says "Byers was a genius at filing away arcana like bass accordions for use in special situations." Hence, he often uses it in ‘Victor Victoria’ to beef up the bowed double bass, creating the illusion of a whole bass section while using only two players. Kluscevsek's newest solo album is a CD scheduled for release on Evva later this year. |
