Accordion: Hohner Concerto III Trossingen Germany
Yann Pierre Tiersen (born 23 June 1970) is a French musician and composer. His music is recognized by its use of a large variety of instruments in relatively minimalist compositions, often with a touch of either European classical music or French folk music, using primarily the piano, accordion or violin together with instruments like the melodica, xylophone, toy piano, ondes martenot, harpsichord and typewriter. His musical style, particularly when using toy and folk instruments is similar to Penguin Cafe Orchestra and Pascal Comelade, but his more serious work is reminiscent of Frédéric Chopin, Erik Satie, Philip Glass and Michael Nyman. Other famous tunes by Yann Tiersen: Comptine d'un autre été: l'après midi, La Valse d'Amelie, Le Banquet, Rue de Cascades, a Quai, Monochrome, La Valse des Monstres.
Les Retrouvailles is an album by French musician Yann Tiersen. Released in 2005, it features a number of high-profile guest vocalists, both French and Anglophone alike: Christophe Miossec, Dominique A, Elizabeth Fraser (of the Cocteau Twins), Jane Birkin, and Stuart Staples (of the Tindersticks). As is customary with his albums, Tiersen showcases his multi-instrumental skills, which on the album encompasses the accordion, piano, mandolin, and harpsichord, among others.
Les Retrouvailles also includes a DVD short film entitled La Traversée, directed by Aurelie du Boys, which documents the making of the album and incorporates an animated video for the non-album track, "Le Train," and also live versions of a handful of songs. The songs on the album are: Western - Kala - Loin des Villes - La Veillée Plus D'hiver - A Ceux Qui Sont Malades - A secret Place - Le Matin - Les enfants - Je Jour de l'Ouverture - La Boulange - La Plage.

Mooi hoor, helemaal op die plek! Kocht net een mooie zwarte als nieuwe Hohner Concerto I omdat ik niet eerder zo een lichtgewicht kwaliteits accordeonnetje hoorde. Ik spaar Italiaanse kleine accordeons.........maar deze klinkt beter....is minder mooi om te zien...maar ja....dat hoor je niet! U speelt toch ook op dure Victoria's?
