The Ins and Outs of the Accordion
Información a cargo de Dr. Herbert Scheibenreif of Friedrich Lips Productions

Los dós últimos y recientes Cds de Friedrich Lips LA CUMPARSITA” y “¡BUENOS DIAS; ASTOR!” están dedicados a Astor Piazzolla. Cuando Friedrich Lips comenzó a descubrir la música de Piazzolla en  los años 1970, se puede decir que para él que fue un momento y una experiencia que le transportaba hacia la plenitud a través de las emociones, colores y ritmos que    iba descubriendo en esa música.  Primero incluyó uno de sus tangos en su repertorio en solitario. Después vino el proyecto llamado “Piazzolla – Studio”.

Fue en Septiembre de 1993 en formato de quinteto y en el sala pequeña del Conservatorio de Moscú. El CD que apareció a raíz de ello fue el  “Argentinean Tangos by Astor Piazolla” y los músicos que tomaron parte en el mismo fueron:Friedrich Lips - bayan, Vladislav Igolinsky - violin, Kirill Rodin - cello, Svjatoslav Lips - piano, Mark Pekarsky - percusión, Nikolay Lgovsky – percusión, y Vladimir Toncha - cello.



Lips
cree que Piazzolla no nos ha abandonado sino que sencillamente ha pasado a otra dimensión en nuestras vidas a través de sus creaciones que se pueden considerar únicas. Es por ello que Lips  a través de este nuevo CD que contiene varios de esos maravillosos tangos quiere decirle:  “Buenos Dias, Astor!”
