World Accordion Trio – Galliano, Coba, Marocco

Finally there is something written about this concert! I had been seeing people twitter about it, and I saw some things on Coba’s blog. But I was unable to get the drift of exactly what went on. And now Elke Ahrenholz has posted a write up on accordions.com. On Octover 23rd, 2009:

To mark the 90th Anniversary of Victoria Accordions, a truly superlative concert was organised. A mega-event of three very famous accordionists together on stage in the Megura Permission Hall, a 1200 seat Theater with excellent acoustics in Tokyo.

The three were Richard Galliano (France), Frank Marocco (USA) and Coba (Japan) who enchanted the audience with a concert program lasting approximately 2 hours.

I wish I was there to see that.

Some small thoughts from Coba on his blog:

Successfully completed the world premiere of the concert accordion contest the world’s three largest Keru Meguro Persimmon.

Richard and Frank is really amazing.
Were giants.
Was consistently full of great love from the stage to rehearse.

But feel the responsibility as the fate of those who bear the same instrument, we are very innocently, “accordion-like” the atmosphere. Became deeply ingrained in the minds of each one through one ear of each phrase ….

It is nice to finally get the scoop on this concert. I really hope they release it as a recording or DVD.
