Info for Portrait of a Lover

The young Polish accordionist Maciej Frąckiewicz takes us on a real ride through hell. On his CD, one of the prizewinner recordings of the German Music Competition, he presents himself virtuosic, fast and at the same time sensitive and indulgent: Frąckiewicz pushes his instrument to the limits of what is possible. He presents contemporary and new music, often connected to his homeland, from Schnittke's surrealistic Gogol Suite to Krauze's Portrait of a Lover dedicated to the performer. If you are not yet an accordion fan, be careful: by the time you listen to this CD, you will have become addicted to the instrument!
