Video: a) "Rosenkavalier-Waltz" by Richard Strauss b) "Java Jive" by Manhattan Transfer The Viennese Chamber Accordion Ensemble took some of the magic of Vienna to the home of Mozart when they were featured at the Thursday night concert of the Coupe Mondiale. The Viennese Chamber Accordion Ensemble was founded in 1967 by Prof. Walter Maurer, well known as a central figure of the CIA while serving several key positions, including as General Secretary from 1975-2006. The ensemble, directed by Werner Weibert comprises the best soloists in Austria and virtually has remained together ever since. One of the secrets of this lasting success is consistency. The repertoire contains all styles and epochs. More than half of their standard programs are compositions from Vivaldi, Bach to Mozart and Mussorgsky, from Johann Strauss to Gershwin, Bernstein, Piazzolla and many more. Success was also achieved through performances of original music by Rudolf Wuerthner, Brehme, Schollum, Jacobi, Dobler or Seiber, just to mention a few. |
