 Sound file: Pietro Roffi performing 'Gernika' composed by Gorka Hermosa, live recording in Córdoba, Argentina, 2014The Times newspaper (edition for Malta) has published an article about the recent interpretation by the Italian accordionist Pietro Roffi of the Spanish accordionist, teacher and composer Gorka Hermosa’s composition ‘Gernika’. "The performance was received with a rapturous ovation from the appreciative audience". The critical review called "Unusual and interesting" adds, "The dynamic range of the instrument was demonstrated, from the soft subtle tones of the piano pieces to the violence, which depicts the story of the Nazi bomb attack in 1937 on the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War, concluding with an explosive final chord". Pietro Roffi played this piece during the concert he gave at the ‘Bir Miftuh Festival’ in Malta. |
