Biography

Born 12 December 1950 in Cannes, in France

In the past, there never seemed to have been one great artist associated with the accordion, an instrument that, because of its connotations, seemed as far removed from swing as it is possible to be. Then along came Richard Galliano, fired by an unrivalled determination to share his conviction that the accordion was worthy have a place at the ... Read more in Amazon's Richard Galliano Store

Product Description

Review

This recent live recording of a solo performance from the Théâtre de Châtelet in Paris captures the full mesmerising range of Richard Galliano s instrumental virtuosity. In his hands, the plaintive tones of the humble accordion have the potency of a cathedral organ and the delicacy of a flute. Galliano applies his arsenal of percussive clicks, flights of dexterity and the occasional wheezy chord to Round Midnight , Piazzolla s Oblivion and Erik Satie. Six Galliano originals reference chanson, aria and jazz, while rhythms vary from a featherlight waltz to the uptown tension of New York Tango . FOUR STARS --Financial Times

Solo accordion from Franco-Italian master Galliano, recorded live at the Théâtre du Châtelet in March this year. It s a carriage-trade set that takes a while to get going, and one can question how much the two Erik Satie Gnossiennes add. But from Galliano s own Bagatelle halfway through, everything suddenly takes off. Versions of Round Midnight , La Javanaise , Caruso and Oblivion are all outstanding, while the air, keys and bellows of the mighty instrument seem right there in the room with you. --Independent on Sunday
