Review
of Percursos by Prof. Joan Sommers: |
Thanks
to Accordions Worldwide at www.accordions.com for allowing this
CD Review to be reproduced.
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.
