Here Angel Luis Castano performs original pieces for the accordion written by Patrick Busseuil, an internationally recognised composer who has received three international prizes for his works and currently teaches classical accordion and composition at the Ecole de Romans. Angel Luis Castano is one of the leading Spanish accordionists, educated in Paris and Copenhagen. Amongst his achievements is having won the Coupe Mondiale International Accordion Championship in 1990. Currently Angel Luis is teaching classical accordion at the Conservatory at Segovia. After reviewing two of Angel Luis's CD's I notice that he has clear inclination towards contemporary music. I have no doubt that Patrick Busseuil is a very talented composer and Angel Luis performs his music with a lot of spirit and creativity. Angel Luis uses all the tone colours and timbre of his accordion to full effect. His 'play' with sound effects and tone colours is amazing, and it is clear that this is based on Angel Luis's true knowledge and understanding of contemporary music. Great buy for lovers of exceptionally good contemporary music! |
