Alessandro Gaudio Performs With Orchestra, Vallo della Lucania – Italyby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
A packed audience applauded the opening concert of the chamber orchestra of the Cilento and Vallo di Diano, held in the cinema-theater ‘La Providence’ in Vallo della Lucania, on Thursday October 31st. The evening began with the overture ‘La Scala di Seta’, by Rossini, followed by the ‘Sinfonia Concertante KV 297’, by Mozart. The audience’s emotions were aroused when, in the second half, Alessandro Gaudio, recent winner of the CMA World Trophy Diatonic in Samara, Russia, joined the orchestra to perform Paganini's arrangement of the ‘Carnival of Venice’ for diatonic accordion and string orchestra, and then performing ‘La Cumparsita’ as a duo with Paolo Vertullo at the piano. The diatonic accordion was so expressive and touching, and seemed to give shape to the inner feelings of the musicians. The orchestra conductor, Massimiliano Carlini, emphasized the importance of the event and highlighted how the diatonic accordion can today, thanks to these high-caliber cultural events, acquire greater importance in diverse musical contexts. |
