Primo piano


Biagio Antonacci e Massimo Tagliata a Miss Italia Finali TV - Italia

Miss ItaliaL'ospite musicale a Miss Italia 2012 finale, RAI TV 10 settembre, è stato il famoso cantante italiano Biagio Antonacci che con il fisarmonicista Massimo Tagliata, ha eseguito un medley di tre delle canzoni più famose di Antonacci "Quanto tempo e ancora", "Pazzo di lei" e "Se io Se lei".

Il primo video presenta questi duetti impressionanti e, alla fine, Biagio Antonacci dice in italiano che la fisarmonica è uno dei grandi strumenti e che è interamente fatta a Castelfidardo!

Poi tutta la band è salita sul palco e ha suonato il suo successo più grande "Non Vivo Più Senza Te", che include molte parti suonate con òa fisarmonica ed è stato il più grande successo, avendo venduto la maggior parte dei CD in Italia questa estate. Grande pubblicità per la fisarmonica.

Kyiv Classic Duo UK Tour Report, Kiev – Ukraine

The Kyiv Classic DuoThe Kyiv Classic Duo – accordionists Igor Sayenko and Oleksiy Kolomoeits – have done several concert tours of Great Britain, each time raising money for the victims of the Chernoby nuclear disaster via the Hippokrat Society charity. Igor Sayenko writes, “Last June we have been to UK with concerts as before. Speaking about raising fund for the Hippokrat Society, we are proud to say we have raised £3,893! This is less, than on 2010 and 2011 years, but I think it's still worth to do it. So, after some requests for year 2013 and some discussions we are starting to plan our next journey to the UK for July 2013”.

The Kyiv Classic Duo are one of the world’s finest accordion duos, and have acquired a loyal following in the UK. If any clubs or festivals are interested in booking them for next July, contact Igor Sayenko.

‘14 Years Ago’ – Enter the concertina

Charles WheatstoneConcertinaThe Accordions Worldwide news for September 18th 1998 included mention of a BBC TV program that referred to Charles Wheatstone, inventor of the English concertina and a renowned scientist in the 19th Century.

Wheatstone was one of several Europeans who experimented with the Chinese imported sheng, resulting in the invention of such instruments as the concertina, bandoneon, harmonica, harmonium, and, of course, the accordion. We should all be thankful for their efforts and ingenuity.

SCIENCE AND CONCERTINAS - UK
Contributed by Chris Timson

A new series of the popular science program ‘Local Heroes’ has just started on BBC 2 (UK). The October 5th edition has a segment devoted to Charles Wheatstone, inventor of the concertina and is mostly set in the computer games shop in Gloucester where he was born.

Chris Timson was asked to provide consultancy for the show and he also provided the concertinas shown in the broadcast. Of particular interest is the symphonium, loaned by Colin Dipper. The symphonium is the direct predecessor of the concertina, and Chris believes there are no more than 20 left in the world.
