The Accordionists and Teachers Guild,
Int'l. has released its first CD as a fundraiser for the many musical activities
sponsored by the organization. All the performers donated their recordings
to the ATG for this purpose. There is, of course, great variety in a recording
such as this, not only in the different styles of music but, also, in the
instruments used and the equipment used in recording them. Nevertheless,
you will find much of interest in the CD featuring many outstanding soloists,
chamber groups, and an accordion orchestra; in addition, you will hear both
acoustic and MIDI accordions.
Anthony Galla-Rini, one of the founding members of the ATG and the group's
President Emeritus, is now almost 101 years young; this solo performance
comes from a now rare recording made several years ago. It gives a fond
glimpse of Galla-Rini as both performer and arranger.
Even such a luminary as the great artist, Friedrich
Lips, donated a recording of his. The young generation is represented
by the winner of the 2002 Anthony Galla-Rini Competition for Classical Accordion,
Lidia Kaminska, who displays her great interest in all types of chamber
music by this duo with a flautist, Carmen Marin. In between you will find
artists from several points of the globe, quite well known but still eager
to help the ATG in this effort to raise funds for even more support of its
educational endeavors.
The CD has been received very well throughout the world; you will enjoy
it. The CD may be purchased on the Accordionists and Teachers Guild website:
www.accordions.com/atg or by
contacting the current president of the ATG: Stas
Venglevski. The cost is US$17 inclusive of shipping and handling |
