Nikolai Chaikin: Concerto No. 1 in Bb Major for Accordion and Orchestra, Mvmt. 1 of 3

Nick Ariondo, virtuoso accordionist/composer & Double Grammy Award Winner performs the Nikolai Chaikin: Concerto No.1 in Bb Major for Accordion & Orchestra with the Olympia Philharmonic Orchestra, Fung Ho, conductor/music director, sponsored by the Hennings-Fischer Foundation and the Olympia Philharmonic Society, 2005 [A Noumi Fischer Legacy Concert]. Throughout the years, Nick Ariondo worked closely with string pedagogue Noumi Fischer, performing in his master classes, orchestra concerts & string recitals, adapting piano scores for the accordion while accompanying violin, viola & cello concertos, sonatas and recital pieces. Noumi Fischers insight and openness in recognizing the validity and seriousness of the accordion was most appreciated. Upon hearing Nicks performance of this concerto at UCLAs Royce Hall to a full capacity auditorium, conductor Zubin Mehta called Nick Ariondo a brilliant success! (The Armenian Observer, Ed Hosharian concert review). Nick expresses sincere thanks to the Hennings-Fischer Foundation as it was an honor to partake in this memorable concert tribute in dedication to the great violin master, Noumi Fischer. The accordion concerto, originally written for the bayan - the Russian chromatic-button accordion - displays the ultimate beauty and style of Russian folk music in a classical/romantic setting similar to that of Tchaikovsky and other composers of the 19th and 20th centuries.
