An accordion is often associated with folk music. This is also not to be dismissed out of hand, but is far too short, as Martynas Levickis currently demonstrates. He is 23 years old and has deliberately prescribed classical, pop and folk alike.
Convinced of his virtuosity and his unspent-friendly charisma, the young artist took the traditional label Decca Classics (London) recently signed and is now bringing out its international self-titled debut album crossover ("Martynas"). It was produced by John Haywood, the most successful works also with David Garrett since 2005.
"Yes, I have decided to redefine the image of the accordion and try to show that one can use this tool very versatile," says Martynas. "At home in Lithuania, people think the accordion is a pure folk instrument, but that is just not quite right, and I want to change that, to make it more popular."
The selection of the CD is a broad. "All arrangements are brand new, the pieces were never played that way," the London-Balt is certain. "There is, for example, Mozart's Turkish March '. That is not exactly unknown, many people have it., Even as ringtone on their phone and know the tune by heart, but when we hear the piece is not much to Mozart, which I think is great It's exciting for me to break with old rules. "
The same goes for Lady Gaga's hit "Telephone": The essence of the original is still there, still in the processing accordion for a very different type of sound emerged. Ennio Morricone's theme songs for the classic film "La Califfa" (1970, starring Romy Schneider) and "Cinema Paradiso (1988) radiate Martynas' special interpretation also in a whole new light, and a tango, our accordionist also referred to the album: where it succeeded together with the star violinist David Garrett, "Por una cabeza" breathe a lot of grandeur and temperament. Ludwig van Beethoven's "Funeral March" from the 7 Symphony in turn sounds on it "no longer sad or after burial," but rather "uplifting" about how the 23 year old is.
A versatile program. Martynas does what he likes - and with much verve. He does not distinguish between E and U. The fun driving him. "The world of music is just colorful," he says.
