 Last week accordionist Teodoro Anzellotti performed with distinction at the annual Aldeburgh Festival, founded in 1948 by the composer, conductor and pianist Benjamin Britten, and now one of the UK’s most prestigious arts festivals. The following report is from ‘The Guardian’ newspaper, “In his recital on the small stage of Jubilee Hall, accordionist Teodoro Anzellotti covered three centuries of music, challenging assumptions and confounding expectations along the way. Music conceived for harpsichord (Scarlatti), for harmonium (some of the originals of Janácek’s ‘From an Overgrown Path’ and for piano (Ligeti and Kurtag) came over well, with no sense of any loss in the translation, but Anzellotti also played works specially written for him. Berio’s ‘Sequenza XIII’, the composer’s penultimate piece of that series, exploring both the accordion’s technical possibilities and its myriad cultural references, was testimony to the performer’s remarkable artistry”. Born in Italy, Teodoro Anzellotti grew up near Baden-Baden, Germany. He graduated from the music schools of Karlsruhe and Trossingen, having studied accordion with Jürgen Habermann and Hugo Noth, and won various international competitions. Since the 1980s he has been a guest at major festivals and as a soloist with leading orchestras, and also teaches at conservatories in Switzerland and Germany. More than 300 new works have been written for Teodoro Anzellotti, by composers such as George Aperghis, Luciano Berio, Heinz Holliger, Toshio Hosokawa, Mauricio Kagel, Michael Jarrell, Isabel Mundry, Brice Pauset, Gerard Pesson, Matthias Pintscher, Wolfgang Rihm, Salvatore Sciarrino, Marco Stroppa, Jörg Widmann and Hans Zender. |
