Works By Piazzolla

Description:

Debut by Joao Barradas, released 5 November 2021. This version of Debut comes as a 2xCD. - WORKS BY PIAZZOLLA

João Barradas writes: "For my first classical album, I wanted to mix original works for my instrument with transcriptions of works by composers whose art had created and formed my love for Western classical music, and so I created a wide-ranging program. One choice was obvious: the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, then came Domenico Scarlatti and Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck. My first choices of music written specifically for accordion were works by Luciano Berio and Astor Piazzolla, a composer and a performer who gave the accordion a new musical language. The program is completed with the French composer Yann Robin, who composed his E[NI]GMA for me and made me it's dedicatee."

This project first began to take shape when I learned that I had been chosen as ECHO Rising Star by the European Concert Hall Organization in 2018. I wanted to mix original works for my instrument with transcriptions of works by composers whose art had created and formed my love for Western classical music, and so I created a wide-ranging programme that included some of the works that mean the most to me. I felt that this was an ideal moment to present my first solo programme of classical music: I?d have the opportunity to perform it in the best concert halls in Europe and, at the same time, I?d be able to record an extensive programme of works that define my relationship with notated music and with my instrument. One choice was obvious, if not mandatory: the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach?s music has always been part of the soundtrack of my life, at times as a performer but primarily as a listener. It?s very difficult for me, a musician who plays an instrument for which Bach did not compose, to explain how I approach his music. I always feel that I lack both the skill and the authority to answer this question ? and in fact authority is the greatest problem when we come to discuss this. It?s a personal matter, like so many other topics in our field, and it?s music that we?re discussing. I can?t imagine a musical practice that is hampered by the choice of an instrument. I don?t mean the musical performance as such; it would be totally unreasonable not to look at instrumentation and timbre as being essential characteristics of the works concerned, as well as the composer?s own original choices. The choice of instrument can?t go against our understanding of the music?s history. As an accordionist, not to play parts of or complete works written for other instruments by some of world?s most important composers can lead to being less well trained as both performer and creator; it also results in a lesser knowledge of the most important solutions of the musical process from a practical as well as an analytical pe
