| Yuri Shishkin, bayan maestro, performed to great audience acclaim on October 18th in the Organ Hall of Kazakh National University of Arts, Astana. His program was a kaleidoscope of Russian music, which included ‘Russian Renaissance II’, by the 18th Century composer Khandoshkin, ‘Huntingand’ - Vladimir Semenov, accordion transcriptions of opera and symphonic music, until now rarely performed in Kazakhstan, one of which was a scene from Mussorgsky's opera ‘Boris Godunov’. Other items included the coquettish ballet suite from ‘Pulcinella’, by Igor Stravinsky, ‘Barcarolle’, by Rachmaninov, and ‘Nocturnes’, by P.I. Tchaikovsky. Yuri Shishkin (born 1963), is widely known internationally, having prizes at international contests in Klingenthal, Germany, in 1988, Kansas City, USA, in 1990 Castelfidardo, Italy in 1991. His performance deserves praise and respect for his very fine presentation to the public of such a broad stratum of Russian music. For further information email: folkduet@mail.ru |

| "We never produced so much music" is a comment by one of the organisers, meaning that the International Festival of the Accordion in Castelfidardo continues to grow in numbers of participating musicians, and also in quality of music. The combination of contests with entertainment events is a winning formula, and demonstrates to the world the infinite potential of the accordion. Everything worked perfectly - good weather, an influx of visitors from many countries, and the city immersed in a holiday atmosphere. A giant truck placed in front of the City Hall was a popular place for visitors, where accordionists Gianni Mirizzi, Manuela Sessa and Gennaro Ruffolo played continuously. Concerts featuring international stars Frank Marocco, Richard Galliano, Coba, and Marc Perrone, drew large audiences. The competition involved entries from 26 countries and four continents, and the jury was impressed by the high standards displayed. Competitors from China, Russia and France were especially impressive, winning many high placings. Daily Reports and Competition Results: 2010 Concorso |
