 On March 21st a special concert was held in the concert hall of the Y.M.C.A. in Jerusalem. The famous baritone singer Christoher Prégardien was not accompanied on the piano as usual, but by a wind quintet (flute, clarinet, oboe and bassoon), but what was really special was the use of the accordion as accompaniment - the accordionist being Joseph Petric from Canada.This was marked by unusual delicacy and musicality with the audience both astonished and impressed. It took a while until the ears got accustomed to the sound between the wind instruments and the wonderful baritone, but the audience quickly appreciated this non-traditional accompaniment of Schubert's ‘Lieder’. The program lasted one and a half hours (without a break) and the audience was carried away...... The special arrangement of ‘Normand Forget’ was excellent and not only a success for the singer and Schubert, but for our beloved instrument the accordion.
