 ¿Que ocurre cuando se une una empresa con una experiencia de 151 años en la producción de Instrumentos musicales y un de los más influyentes armonicistas en la historia del Popular Music? Sin lugar a dudas, ¡se hace historia!La compañía Hohner y Bob Dylar se sienten orgullosos de presentar la serie de armónicas de mano `The Bob Dylan Collection´, celebrando así el buen hacer y legado tanto de Honhner como de Dylan. Hohner ha manufacturado y distribuido instrumentos musicales desde 1857, siendo una de las empresas más antiguas a nivel mundial del citado sector. Por otro lado, Bob Dylan, venerado cantautor Americano, poeta y D.J, ha sido una figura imprescindible en el Popular Music durante 5 décadas. Durante su carrera, Bob Dylan ha obtenido numerosos premios como cantautor, intérprete, cosechado siempre un gran éxito en sus grabaciones como reflejan sus 11 Grammys (incluyendo el Lifetime Achievement Award), Kennedy Center Honors, y el premio Academy Awards. Dylan ha sido incluido en el Rock and Roll Hall Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame y en el Songwriters Hall of Fame. En 2008, Bob Dylan fue galardonado con el Premio Pulitzer, con una mención especial a su “profundo impacto en el Popular Music y cultura Americana, caracterizándose por sus líricas composiciones y su extraordinaria capacidad poética” Con la apropiada firma `Bob Dylan Series´, este nuevo producto está disponible individualmente en la tonalidad de DO, disponible también en un Set de siete tonalidades naturales: LA, SI, DO, RE, MI, FA, SOL, LA y SI. Está armónica incluye en su superficie la firma de Bob Dylan, el logotipo del “Ojo” de Dylan grabado en su funda correspondiente y una caja de regalo mostrando la imagen de Dylan en la parte interior de la misma. |

Nueva Categoría para Acordeón Digital en la Coupe Mondiale-Nueva Zelandaby Harley Jones |
 Las recientes normas para la 2009 Coupe Mondiale incluyen una nueva categoría para acordeón digital, con reglas que rompen radicalmente con el pasado.Los candidatos son requeridos a interpretar su propia elección de programa de música de variedades. En un inusual movimiento, esta competición permite a los candidatos toda clase de tecnología, que ellos podrían usar en el caso de se acordeonistas comerciales trabajando profesionalmente. “Módulos externos de sonido, archivos MIDI, Backing tracks incluyendo SMF, archivos Audio, reproductores de CD o MP3, etc. son permitidos para esta categoría” Cada candidato está solo limitado por el requisito de aportar su propio sistema de sonido. “La organización proveerá un Mixer Sound System con un Mixer Plug para 1 o 2 canales y un Singer Plug (Local Plug) de 230 voltios. El candidato debe de proveer el resto del equipo necesario” Este cambio de normas también incluye: “Cualquier modelo o fabricante de acordeones digitales pueden ser usado y el fuelle debe ser el principal controlador del sonido de los acordeones digitales. Acordeones digitales con sonido acústico son permitidos con lengüetas amplificadas, los cuales llevarán al candidato a hacer un uso del acordeón y el fuelle con una demanda considerable de sonidos digitales” También revolucionario es el sistema de puntación. “El jurado puntuará en función de: La musicalidad del Show/entertainment y la tecnología digital usada. El Público y/o candidatos de otras categorías de la Coupe Mondiale pueden ser también parte del jurado”. Con esta idea se quiere asegurar que los competidores realizan auténticas interpretaciones de un repertorio de variedades propio. |

This show included live music, electronics, poems and improvisations, and has been interpreted with voice, Roland V-Accordion, and amplified guitar. The journal critics said: "This new show presents an evolution of the contemporary music, and far from avant-garde languages, takes more influences from jazz and world music." |

 From November 9th to 14th, accordionist Henry Doktorski served as Artist-In-Residence for the Ames Iowa High School Orchestra, and also performed as guest soloist with the orchestra in a concert on the last evening, under the direction of MD Mary Kay Polashek. Henry Doktorski writes: “There was no question in my mind about the high artistic standards of Mary Kay Polashek and her orchestra when she told me that the world-famous harpsichordist Igor Kipnis had been one of their guest artists. I had a terrific time working with Mary Kay Polashek and Emil. They kept me busy all day long! In the morning I was taken to various schools to give accordion presentations and lecture/recitals. Around noon was our rehearsal with the orchestra at the High School (what a terrific orchestra—87 string players!). When Mary Kay Polashek began as Director of the orchestras 22 years ago, she had only seven students. Now she has more than 90 students! I was particularly impressed with the first chair players who were as good as many professionals! It was quite a moving experience for me; to create such terrific music with such a talented Director and excellent young players. |

 Domi Emorine and Roman Jbanov, known as world the ‘Paris Moscou' Duo gave a series of school concerts in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, from September 22nd to 25th 2008. The musicians went to 5 different schools to make known the accordion to more than 2,000 teenagers.Roman Jbanov began by presenting the instrument, its origins, and demonstrating the different sounds of the stops and possibilities of the accordion. Afterwards, the duo took the plunge facing an audience much more inclined towards modern music. Surprisingly, the young students, very attentive and responsive in their vast majority, warmly appreciated this wide repertory, from Paris to Moscow, from French musette to traditional Russian classics, as well as Roman’s humour in his presentation of the pieces. Students were even involved in the show by singing the famous ‘Cuckoo Waltz’, arranged by Maurice Larcange, admirably played solo by Domi Emorine. Thunderous applause and many encores at the end of the concert proved that the duo ‘Paris Moscou' managed to revive the accordion in the eyes of young people and perhaps even attracted interest for this wonderful instrument. Many thanks to Roman and Domi for allowing all these young people to hear such beautiful music. |

 This CD is the confirmation (if any were needed) of the validity or rather, the great potential of the combination of accordion and piano. This confirmation is provided here by the very capable duo of the accordionist Marko Kassl and the pianist Tobias Bredohl. CD Reviews Index. |
