The combination of piano accordion and cello, in the recital given in Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor on Friday, 2 February by Bartosz Glowacki and Corentin Chassard, was certainly unusual; but far more than that, it provided an exhilarating and memorable musical experience.

Each performer was a superb advocate for his instrument, and the duo’s rapport when they played together clearly grew out of long acquaintance.

Adaptations of well-known melodies by composers such as Scarlatti, Vivaldi, Purcell, Bach, Handel and Schubert provided a solid ‘core’ to the programme, in which the audience could enjoy the familiar from a new angle.

But some of the most striking contributions were solo ones.

The next concert, in Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor at 7.30pm on Friday, 23 February, will be given by the Primrose Piano Quartet with Leon Bosch (double bass).
