Classic Kyiv Duo @ Stockport Accordion Club, Cheshire – UKby Rob Howard |
The brilliant Classic Kyiv Duo returned to Stockport Accordion Club, Cheshire, as Club Night guests on July 16th. The concert began with a set from the Stockport AC Band (MD Derek Stubbs), performing a ‘Gay Gordons’ medley, ‘In the Mood’, and ‘The Dambusters’, followed by contributions from Rob Howard, Helen Rich, Betty Molloy/Chris Green, and Stefan Andrusychyn. The Classic Kyiv Duo - Igor Sayenko and Oleksiy Kolomoiets – on their annual tour from the Ukraine, did two lengthy spots, the first of which began with a spectacular ‘Widor’s Toccata No 5’, usually played on pipe organs, but rarely on accordions. Their program also included ‘Winter’ from the ‘Four Seasons’ by Vivaldi, ‘Vocalise’ - Rachmaninov, ‘Libertango’ and ‘Oblivion’ – Piazzolla, ‘Sabre Dance’ - Khachaturian, ‘Flight of the Bumblebee’ – Rimsky-Korsakov, ‘Under the River Seine’ – Gaidenko, ‘Variations on Ukrainian Folk Songs’ – Novikov, and more. The duo’s great artistry and wonderful performance earned them a standing ovation, and we all left feeling happy after an outstanding concert. For further information email: robaccord5@hotmail.com |
