Paulo Jorge Ferreira has recorded a very nice collection of pieces, both original and transcribed, for the accordion, an instrument for which he obviously has a great feeling!

The music is interesting and quite well performed; it provides many different sounds and styles for the player to exhibit his technical and musical aptitude as well as the instrument's great possibilities.

Indeed, his technique is very clean and accurate in both hands and is captured well by the recording technicians of this CD, something not always so apparent in the studio!

Paulo Jorge Ferreira also shows his own gifts for arranging and composing for the accordion. He lectures in the Applied Arts Superior School in Castelo Branco. For me, well, I have my favorite pieces but you will need to listen for yourself and select your own! The CD is worth your time and expense to take this Percursos (journey). You will enjoy it.
