Ksenija Sidorova Releases Debut CD, London – UKby Rob Howard |
 Ksenija Sidorova has released her debut solo CD, ‘Classical Accordion’, on the Champs Hill label. Still in her early twenties, Latvian-born London-based Ksenija is already a highly accomplished artist, and has collaborated with many leading musicians including the Belcea Quartet, and Valery Gergiev with the CBSO. Born in Latvia in 1988, Ksenija Sidorova was encouraged to take up the accordion at the age of eight by her grandmother. Her studies took her to London where she was a prize-winning undergraduate at the Royal Academy of Music. In February 2009 Ksenija was a joint winner of the ‘Friends of the Royal Academy of Music Wigmore Award’, which led to her Wigmore Hall debut later that year. She also received the Worshipful Company of Musicians Silver Medal for the Maisie Lewis Award, and was the first accordionist to win the prestigious WCoM Prince’s Prize. Ksenija will be appearing in classical music magazines such as the BBC Music Magazine, Classical Music, and Classic Fm Magazine. The CD track list reads: Arne Norheim – ‘Flashing’, J.S. Bach – ‘Overture in the French Style’, Luciano Berio - Sequenza XIII “Chanson”, Domenico Scarlatti – ‘Sonata in D Minor, k77’, Domenico Scarlatti - ‘Sonata in D Major’, W. A. Mozart - 12 variations “Ah Vous Dirais-Je, Maman”, Alfred Schnittke – ‘Revis Fairytale’, Yuki Takahashi – ‘Like a Water Buffalo’, (Bonus track) Astor Piazzolla – ‘Five Tango Sensations – I – Asleep’, with the Sacconi Quartet.
