He was truly a master..it's unfortunate that he wasn't discovered by some of the real talent scouts who could have made him much more popular then he was and propelled his career. Compared to some of those other musicians out there, he was far more talented.
I am so proud to have met Gelso, and I wish his son would put more of his vidio's on utube, and yes he was the best of the best, and we all miss him. God bless you Gelso,and keep the angels dancing. your friend . Ed
CAHDBIKER I have watched this video many times.I respect his playing because I know how difficult this piece is.I play it myself. However, he is missing notes and making mistakes all over the place.I have the sheet music for this so I know what I am talking about. If my accordion teacher was still alive he would tell him to slow down just a little and get it right. Sorry, but it is true.
That was zorch! I was born in 1970. Any 'woman' (since I'm a male) who played this piece that good that was born in 2000 or earlier I'd fall in love at first sight (although if they were born in the late 90's, they'd probably have to play that E-chord b-chord repetition in the coda somewhat better (where you'd hear more of the alternating chords than the fingering part in the right hand) to elicit the same attraction as a woman who was born before 1989 who played it the way he played it.
The best accordion player I have ever seen is the great Gervasio Marcosignori (La Poeta della Fisarmonica). However, Gelso reminds me of him. Amazing!
I'm very happy that I found this. It is a wonderful tribute to one of the finest gentleman I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. What a superb accordion player. One of the best.
Remember though, on button accordions, you can do octave jumps and runs all over the place without barely moving your hand. I've heard that a button accordion is 7 times easier to play than a piano accordion.
there is no better than gelso. i have seen him play the lone ranger song in person it was great.

Do you mean that the music is called "william Tell"? It is strange then. As far as I know, it is some kind of gallop in the 19th century.
Anyway, the man plays very well.
