AMSTERDAM, VINCENT VAN

AMSTERDAM, VINCENT VAN - RED, DARK AND BLUE

Accordionist Vincent van Amsterdam (winner of Dutch Classical Talent Competition 2016) presents his new CD Red, Dark and Blue, a CD that is sure to amaze a large number of music lovers. With great musical storytelling ability Vincent demonstrates the tremendous sound richness of the accordion. On the CD listeners can hear crimson red melodies in Johan Sebastian Bach’s 5th French Suite, dark new harmonies in Sofia Gubaidulinas Sonata Et Expecto, and brilliant blue skies in the music of Vladyslav Solotarjov. The Ukranian composer Maxim Shalygin, who lives in the Netherlands, wrote the hypnotising and demanding work Trembling Music especially for Vincent. The well known Prelude, Fugue and Variation by César Franck, and several movements from Images of the Passing Time by Russian composer Anatoli Kusjakov complement this jam-packed CD.
