Product Description

From Amazon.com

Petrouchka arranged for two accordions is not unlike the original, since the composer's push-button winds and biting, nasal strings resemble nothing if not a giant orchestral squeeze box. Little is lost in this "de-orchestration"--for example, percussion passages are dealt with by whacking the accordion's sides. Stravinsky's Tango also lies well on the instrument, but the players miss the music's ironic bite. James Crabb and Geir Draugsvoll recast Pictures at an Exhibition with dazzling ingenuity. Their prim and spotless virtuosity, however, transforms Mussorgsky's raging, elemental lion into an agreeable, domestic kitty cat. Nevertheless, accordion fanciers will be enticed. Move over, Lawrence Welk! --Jed Distler
