 The Classic Kyiv Duo - Igor Sayenko and Oleksiy Kolomoiets, on tour from the Ukraine, were magnificent and inspirational in their concert at Stockport Accordion Club on July 25th. Their opening number, Widor's 'Toccata No 5', a grand piece usually only played on pipe organs in churches and cathedrals, set the standard for the rest of their programme. Highlights included the Teddy Bor piece, 'McMozart's Eine Kleine Bricht Moonlicht Micht Musik' – a mixture of Mozart and Scottish dance tunes - was brilliant and funny in equal measures. Another humorous and clever item was ‘Happy Birthday’ played variously in the styles of JS Bach, Johann Strauss, Haydn, Mozart, etc. There was also Franz Waxman’s virtuosic 'Carmen Fantasy', ‘Flight of the Bumblebee’, Sabre Dance’, and much more - all performed with great technique and style. This was the duo's 6th time as guests at Stockport AC, and they were as amazing as always!The concert began with a special appearance by the jazz accordionist Harry Hussey, who on arrival began taking requests 15 minutes before the official starting time of 7.30pm, thus uniquely functioning as his own warm-up act! He was looking well, and playing on top form. The trio Accordion Spice trio, soloist Helen Rich, and the Stockport AC Band (MDs Marj Howard and Adrienne Sharpe) all played very well indeed, contributing to what was a superb and well attended concert.
