 Picture above from left to right: Andrea Šulcová, Martin Šulc & Ladislav HorákAccordionists Ladislav Horák, Martin Šulc and Andrea Šulcová took part in the 2023 Prague Festival of Music held at the Prague Conservatory in Prague, Czech Republic on January 24th, 2023. Picture left: Duo of Andrea Šulcová and Martin Šulc performing. The festival program included a variety of works such as Prelude and Fugue in A flat major (BWV 862) by J. S. Bach, Carnival by Viatcheslav Semionov and Anantango by Gorka Hermosa which was performed by all three accordionists. The event was presented by violinist Václav Hudecek, who has been cooperating with young talents for a long time and performed with the accordionists and other young players (picture below). |

  Pictures left: Sophie Herzog, Yilin Han Pictures right: Piotr Motyka, Shuoqi QiaoThe concert by the accordion class of Prof. Grzegorz Stopa at the Music and Arts Private University in Vienna took place under the motto “Dreamy and Fresh“ in the Ehrbar Hall (known for the work of Johannes Brahms). “For the first time there is no work by J.S. Bach!“. This announcement by Prof. Stopa probably best characterizes the development of the accordion repertoire. The diverse accordion sounds in solo and duo playing as well as chamber music gave the venerable hall with a great music-historical past new freshness, true to the motto of the evening! The Hungarian composer and saxophonist Theodor Burkali has worked for the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Wiener Konzerthaus and the Queens Hall in Edinburgh, among others. In his "SaxAccordia" for saxophone (Yuhi Kagami) and accordion (Jingyang Wang), he effectively brings out the sound potential of both instruments. Composer Oliver Uszynski also appeared as a clarinetist in the performance of his "Dracula's Inverse Tango" alongside accordionist Yilin Han and percussionist Laura Gutiérrez Corredo. He has already received several awards, e.g. he was a seven-time prizewinner at the Jugend komponiert competition and was nominated for the Musiktheatertage Wien; as a clarinetist he was a prizewinner at the Rising Star International Competition. Clavecin music by Domenico Scarlatti and Jean-Philippe Rameau is now part of the classical accordion repertoire and is played true to the note on this instrument. Liang Shi skilfully interpreted the Sonata in G minor, K. 450, and after “La Villageoise”, Marija Antunovic was particularly convincing with a lively twittering of birds “Le rappel des oiseaux”. In the presence of the composer Marius Binder, his "Furunkel II" was premiered in Austria by Piotr Motyka. As the winner of last year's Arrasate competition, he was invited to a concert tour in Spain, where the piece received its world premiere. Works by Marius Binder were performed at Wien Modern, the Vienna Music Theater Days, at the Marius Siegfried Binder Music Forum Viktring and at the Carinthian Summer, among other events. At the end of the first part, Sophie Herzog showed a rousing performance of "Il Salterello Romano" by Fany Hensel-Mendelssohn, an artistic adaptation of the Italian dance Salterello in a virtuoso manner. In the presence of the composer Ole Hübner, "Gestalt und Zersetzung" experienced its masterful premiere by accordionist Elisabeth Muller. In his works, Hübner shows a special interest in the interferences between sound, performance and space. As a fundamentally open space for artistic activity and experimentation, “theater” is very important to him. If there is no work by J.S. Bach, at least one “Prelude and Fugue” could not be missing. This time in A flat major No. 17 Op. 87 by the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich in the interpretation of Sophie Herzog, who once again convinced with her exquisite sound. Composer Jean Beers adapted her fantaisie toccata "I Schizophrenia, as said" from the "Bulgakov Piano Cycle" for accordion, giving Polish artist Piotr Motyka the opportunity to once again demonstrate his special skills on the instrument. Motyka also excelled in Thomas Kessler's "Lufttore" (Air gates) for saxophone and accordion together with saxophonist Yingshuo Ma. Respighi's "Valse caressante" (Shuoqi Qiao), Mendelssohn's Scherzo from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (Yilin Han) and Yuankai Bao's "You guess what flower is it" from "Chinese sights and sounds" (Duo Marija Antunovic and Yilin Han) rounded off the evening and released the audience into a dreamy winter night. |
