Ronald Stevenson (1928–2015) is best remembered for his huge output of music for the piano, an instrument he played with a rare understanding of tonal colour. It was thus entirely within character that he responded enthusiastically to the opportunity to explore the musical possibilities of the accordion, most impressively in a ‘Dance Poem’ of some scale. Stevenson was also an inveterate transcriber, producing hundreds of piano versions of pieces written for other forces.

Astor Piazzolla’s name is synonymous with Nuevo Tango, an experimental compound of traditional and contemporary influences, and this recording offers a bouquet of his finest music in wholly original arrangements for classical accordion and piano. This selection includes the unforgettable Milonga del ángel as well as the evocative suite The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires. The Double Concerto ‘Hommage à Liège’ is one of Piazzolla’s most classically orientated works, by turns playful, catchy and lyric, while the examples drawn from his film music are among his most enduring.

Władysław Zolotaryow, Aleksandr Nagajew and Albin Repnikov are the great names of 20th-century Russian accordion literature. The sonatas presented on this album combine a tragedy, a reflection on life, but in the shadow of death. There are also musical references directly related to it, such as a quotation from a medieval sequence sung during the funeral Masses Dies iræ, dies illa in Władysław Zolotaryov's Sonata No. 3, or the use of the motif of the song Позабыт, позаброшен (Forgotten, abandoned), telling about a conscious child waiting for him death in the third movement of Albin Repnikov's Sonata. Sonata op. 13 Alexander Nagayev was created a year after the tragic departure of Zolotaryov and is a musical tribute to a friend.
