Here is one more recording from the series of Michael Ganian, so recognizable by its style, atmosphere and musical "signature" - a term Russian musicians use to describe a very recognizable musical image.

As in his previous recordings, all the pieces are written and performed by Michael, in a style "a la France", but do not expect to hear traditional French musette music. To me, Michael's style is some sort of very fine improvisation based on French accordion music, which at times sound even jazzy, at times very lightly contemporary, but always with great taste.

Michael plays with great technical ease and lightness. While listening to him, you get an impression that his warm tone color and delicate emotionality come from the "inside", and I believe that is the reason why his music totally consumes the listener.

Very classy, jazzy and seductive music, performed with great taste. Don't on any occasion miss it!
