Besides this absolute technical superiority, Dmitriev possesses great understanding for different styles. His musical approach is delicate, exact and highly emotional. One of my favorite tracks on this recording is Chaikin's Passacaglia, where Dmitriev achieves sound grandiosity through gradual, impressive dramatical development. I also liked Kholminov's Suite and the warm simplicity in expression that it is performed with. This recording of "classical" original pieces for accordion by Russian composers: Chaikin, Kholminov, Zolotaryov and Zubitsky would be a great buy for any accordionist and accordion lover. |
