Videos of accordion greats that I have been privileged to meet and record.

Adagio for Strings, Samuel Barber 1939
Samuel Barber (1910-1981), a fine American composer, is best known for this romantic contemporary piece. I play this Adagio about 60+ beats a minute, while the great American conductor Bernstein (and many others) has the NY Philharmonic do it at 40 beats per minute. Why? When in a great concert hall with much reverberation & a large string orchestra, make every note sing out with emotion & it works keeping the audience interested. When in a small dry sounding room with an instrument with small reeds as compared to the much longer strings of a large string orchestra, this slow tempo doesn't work. Furthermore, the tune is called Adagio, not, Largo. Also my accordion is an air guzzler & corr...

Hark, the Herald Angels Sing

The tune starts off with a trumpet fanfare & has a few more brief ones later. Felix like to create drama with his wedding march being the most famous. This is a good setting to celebrate the birth of Christ.
Ave Maria, Piazzolla
Просмотров 5809 месяцев назад
Ave Maria by Astor Piazzolla was written for oboe and piano. I finally found the score and reworked it for my instrument. It is one of his most beautiful and emotional compositions. I’ve been wanting to play this piece for almost 30 years and finally here it is!
Ave Maria, Bach/Gounod
Просмотров 7189 месяцев назад
Bach wrote a Prelude & Fugue in C for harpsichord, which is a colorful chord progression for the Prelude section. Gounod much later added a melody to this Prelude & called it "Ave Maria". I had to rework the two handed prelude so I could play it with one hand and the melody with the other.
Ave Maria, Caccini
Просмотров 7429 месяцев назад
I posted my arrangement of this song about 10 years ago using my Stradella bass accordion. Here it is again, another arrangement, but using mainly the free bass system. The composition was attributed to Caccini for a very long time, but until fairly recently it is now attributed to a Russian composer, Vladimir Vavilov (1925-1973). Here is what Wikipedia has to say: "Ave Maria". Vavilov wrote th...
Hey! You Nice Little Snowball Tree, Panitsky
Просмотров 639Год назад
Here is my all time favorite Russian Folk Song. I posted this song 5 years ago using my Standard Bass Hohner Gola. Now I've edited it for my Free Bass Scandalli to achieve a deeper bass. Ivan Panitsky (1906-1990) the arranger of this song ,born blind, was a highly gifted performer and arranger. His arrangements are very lyrical & expressive. This song remains one of his most cherished songs.

Tony Lovello (Liberace of the Accordion) in Concert, March 2000
Просмотров 25 тыс.Год назад
Tony Lovello 1932-2017 is known as the "Liberace of the Accordion". He is famous for his bellows shake, razzle-dazzle rapid runs & glissandos. The National Accordion Association called him "the entertainer's entertainer". After a 20 year break from entertaining, Tony is just coming out of retirement at around 1998. For the next almost 20 years he has performed, taught, wrote music & recorded ov...
Thirty Below (Slow Waltz), Caroline Parke, played on Standard Bass, then Free Bass Accordion
Просмотров 691Год назад
Thirty Below is a slow waltz. The melody is composed by Caroline Parke, the chords by Trent Bruner & arranged for two types of accordion by me. The Standard Bass Accordion is the most popular one and is easier to play. The Free Bass Accordion is for the more complicated (polyphonic) left hand patterns. I was introduced to Caroline by a former student of mine who wanted me to arrange one of her ...
Chattanooga Choo Choo, Gordon/Warren

This tune was a hit in the movie, Sun Valley Serenade (1941), which featured the Glen Miller Band and the song & dance stars, The Nicholas Brothers and Dorothy Dandridge. My old fingers got a bit of a workout with this fast boogie.
Adagio from Concerto #3 in D Minor for Oboe, Marcello/Bach
Просмотров 25 тыс.Год назад
Alessandro Marcello (1684-1750) wrote 4 concerti dealing with the oboe. J. S. Bach (1685-1750) transcribed this one for many mediums and embellished the melody with free ornamentation. My arrangement is based on a score for oboe, strings & basso continuo. The expressive oboe suits my instrument well.
Finale to Piano Concerto in G Minor, Mendelssohn, performed by Carmen Carrozza 1995

Carmen (1921-2013) was one of my top accordion idols. I was very excited to meet him & even record 3 of his concerts (1995/96/98). I miss this likeable artist very much and want to share several more performances of his; enjoy. The orchestra is the "Westmont Philharmonia Accordion Orchestra" of Philadelphia, U.S.A. under the direction of Stanley Darrow (1935-2018).

Lindo demais!
Bravo Sergieu Popa. Salutations de la part d un citoyen Algerien
Bravo!!!
拉手风琴的真是个体力活
Super performance. Bravo!
Дай бог вам здоровье, сыграли очень классно, я бы с вами сыграл в две руки,....... жду ответа спасибо за игру
Sounds very different on an accordion. I like it! Well done!
Very good!
Bravo Michael, a marvelous rendition and so beautifully played! I’m in my seventies, and with exact same instrument have never conquered Monti yet! Lovely and so well done!!
Great work on the central part with the imitation in Canone. Very nicely arranged and played. Thanks for posting such a gem.
Congratulations, that is amazing. It's one of the most correct and still vivid solo instrument interpretation of this dramatic aria I have ever heard. Your transcription is absolutely great, your accordion sounds like a full orchestra plus human voice, and you play that like if it was the most natural thing to do on the earth!
Knew Jim when he lived in SF Bay Area. Often heard him play. When he switched to Cajun/Zydeo with the Sonoma Swamp Dogs his career really started to take off..... than his heart quit. He was a fabulous musician. He started the Cotati Accordion Festival and a statue in his honor is featured at the annual event. RIP Jim

And what about this virtuoso? You have to learn from him ! : ruclips.net/video/MBWvJfy2t1M/видео.html
Bravissimo! 😄 Heinz, could you, please, attach PDF file with notes for accordion?
He plays great, but overall it is also tiring. He likes the fast sobgs, but he should change it with the very romantic ones too. Uf you are in his shiws it will tire you out a little. But yes, he plays very very good.
He plays good.
sounds much better than the Roland v
Great music. Thanks for sharing with us. Houston, TX
Heard a lot of your music, but I did not realise how skillful and gifted you are. Thank you for this. Is it a Stradella bass? Frank in Bristol.
👍
Dla mnie rewelacja, brawo!
You destroy all of the nerd stereotypes attributed to accordion players! You are a meastro of the squeezebox.
Bravo😊
❤ good❤
he could beat anyone in arm wrestling
Love the "French street cafe" accordion at 3:40
Thank you so much for this Heinz. Myron was not so well known in UK , but as a fellow accordionist I respect and love this man. He was good- world class. Thanks from Frank in Bristol.

Fabuloso. É pena a russia ser, desde 1917, um atraso civilizacional assente nos preconceitos dos bolcheviques russos de Lenine. Leon Tolstoi, Dostoievsky, Solgenitsin, tudo apagado pelo leninismo… tristesa de atraso!
Yes on complentments over kill better pn the one french rite😊
He could knock u out😊
Gettin ideas for malguna😊
