Paulo
Jorge Ferreira has recorded a very nice collection of pieces, both original
and transcribed, for the accordion, an instrument for which he obviously
has a great feeling!
The music is interesting and quite well performed; it provides many different
sounds and styles for the player to exhibit his technical and musical aptitude
as well as the instrument's great possibilities.
Indeed, his technique is very clean and accurate in both hands and is captured
well by the recording technicians of this CD, something not always so apparent
in the studio!
Paulo Jorge Ferreira also shows his own gifts for arranging and composing
for the accordion. He lectures in the Applied Arts Superior School in Castelo
Branco. For me, well, I have my favorite pieces but you will need to listen
for yourself and select your own! The CD is worth your time and expense
to take this Percursos (journey). You will enjoy it.
