After Piazzolla Reflections, (ALPHA664), Latvian accordionist Ksenija Sidorova devotes this new recording to Bach and compositions influenced by his music - starting with the famous Concerto BWV 1052, which has inspired so many adaptations for piano, violin and even heavy metal guitar, "so I don't think a version for an instrument with two keyboards will surprise anyone!" says Ksenija. The programme also includes Sergey Akhunov, a composer who featured on her previous album, with a work inspired by Bach's Chaconne BWV1004; Beyond Bach by Gabriela Montero, the Venezuelan pianist and composer famous for her improvisations; and Horizons by the Anglo-Bulgarian composer Dobrinka Tabakova. The programme is completed by Bach’s Chorale Prelude Ich ruf zu dir, which has accompanied Ksenija since childhood: ‘I think this organ piece works particularly well on the accordion. Both instruments use bellows, but the accordion offers a much more flexible dynamic range. You can really let the music breathe.’

Excellent, so refreshing to hear this on accordion not just organ or piano equally as satisfying filled with such musicality

[@erhardwiedenmann2873]

Was ist da arrangiert?

[@Sam-qq2em]

@@erhardwiedenmann2873 It was originally an improvised piano piece by Gabriela Montero. I guess it has not been "arranged", as such, put transferred to the accordion.

I want this transcribed for classical guitar

[@inraid]

beyond imagination!

[@sebastiaoedsonmacedo7950]

Good playing but the videography is terrible: busy frames all over, continuously unrested camera, and we can’t see the player actually articulating the instrument. Awful to watch!

[@buixote]

Guess there was no room for the camera *in front* of the Artist! ;-) And the focus was broken.

[@Tocsin-Bang]

After 30 seconds I looked at a blank wall, which was a massive improvement. This is sad because Ksenija is one of the world's greatest accordionists. I also didn't subscribe, because Alpha Classics is doing a great disservice to classical music.
