‘Viva Marcosignori!’ Tribute Double CD Released, Barnsley – UKby Rob Howard |
 |
 Earlier this year, the international accordion world was rocked by the news of the passing of Gervasio Marcosignori, who died in tragic circumstances. Since then a number of events to celebrate the life of this outstanding Italian accordion virtuoso have been taking place.One of which is the timely issue of ‘Viva Marcosignori!’, by UK accordion virtuoso Pearl Fawcett-Adriano, a magnificent 36 tracks double CD compilation of many of his best known recordings. Gervasio Marcosignori (1927-2013), one of the most revered accordionists of his generation, was one of a very few who could genuinely be described as a legend in his lifetime. Marcosignori’s playing career went through various phases, including acoustic playing with rhythm accompaniment, solo acoustic playing, and his electronic accordion years, all of which are represented on this double CD. His recordings included Continental music, accordion specialities, and classical music. The tracks are mixed up to provide variety, and are not set in any chronological order, but serve to showcase the talents of one of the accordion world’s stellar performers. This modestly priced double CD is available from Pearl Fawcett-Adriano, and is a fine souvenir of the recorded work of this much loved and admired virtuoso.
