 Accordionist, composer and producer, Jacques Pellarin, has teamed up with Romananche, a vineyard in the area of Bonnard, Burgondy, to make a limited edition wine inspired by music. This area inspired Pellarin when he was there at harvest time in 2009. The winemakers were seduced by the music on Karenita, which their vineyards had stimulated.The vintage 2009 Romananche is a variety of pinot noir, worked in oak barrels for a whole year. It is a wine produced in the appellation, Bugey, France. Its label is decorated with an excerpt from the composer's score. This vine has caused two works that are found in a bottle. We can now enjoy Romananche other than on the album of the Jacques Pellarin Trio, ‘Karenita’. For further information email: jacques.pellarin@wanadoo.fr |
Cesare Chiacchiaretta in Concerto, Helsinki – Finlandiaby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
 Cesare Chiacchiaretta ha presentato il 13 settembre a Helsinki un concerto con fisarmonica con un programma che mette insieme brani che hanno per comune denominatore la musicalità italiana, dal Barocco sino ai nostri giorni, nelle sue varie e originali forme. Le trascrizioni presenti sono di vario tipo: si va da quelle dei brani di Domenico Scarlatti e Antonio Vivaldi; a quella che l'italiano Busoni ha fatto della “Ciaccona” di Bach, compositore quest'ultimo che molto deve proprio alla musica italiana; alla trascrizione del brano di Rachmaninov che parla italiano sin dal titolo; fino alla rivisitazione del celebre brano di Rossini. Il concerto era present da Paolo Rosato. |
