Le Nid Aimé – Accordéon
Melancolique
In the course of defining a harmonious world Jean Pierre Guiran and
Cherie de Boer are in a world made up of little things one could say, but
that does not mean things of little impotance. Guiran, who is the composer
of nearly all the tunes, always retains a welcoming sound, where melodies
are always memorable and dischords have no right to be present. This happens
despite the varied musical styles from tango to waltz, from swing to klezmer
music. Rather than describe the individual tunes which despite their variety
remain strangely homogenous and therefore diffcult to say which one in particular
stands out given the high level of all of them, it is perhaps easier to
allow the listener to approach the musicality of the dutch duo via the fact
that in the accompanying booklet there is a poem by T Bowe entitled “Home”,
or the cover which has a delightful watercolor by De Boer, or indeed how
the title itself leads to the poeticism of the accordion pair. Here then,
listening to the CD and recalling all these aspects, it is a little like
being invited to someones house where the cordial, never overwhelming, conversation
allows us to spend a very pleasant afternoon enjoying some pastries and
sipping a tea.
