In many years as a
musician I've heard countless accordionists. Most of these players
were quite technically proficient. Many of these artists were
primarily concerned with "playing the piece."
Zevy Zions "plays the piece" and has amasing technique.
What sets him apart and above most acccordionists is his musicianship.
He interprets the music, is subtel and gets to the essence of
the selection.
The repertoire of the CD runs the ganut from light pieces such
as "Coquette" and "Olive Blossoms" to the
substantial "Vivo" which was written by the illustrious
accordionist - arranger John Gart. Zions' "Klezmer Suite"
evokes all kinds of e#images and emotions. It's magnificent.
This CD exposes an essential selection of Accordion music, played
by a great artist.
I would like to dedicate this album to my teacher, Mr. Charles
Nunzio, who was known in his own right as a great performer and
instructor of the accordion. His musical genius is evident in
his compositions and arrangements, some of which appear on the
CD. Mr. Nunzio's assistance in the execution of these musical
selections was immeasurable. |
