Come Back To Sorrento

[Soulsaver]

I dont know if the song was written for accordion accompaniment... but the accordion was made for this song IMHO.

Lovely tone on this instrument - I dont recognise it; what make/model is it?

 

[Glenn]

Indeed a great sound and an great song for the accordion.
Think I'd tackle it differently than your link but got to admire his library.

 

[fjsys]

It is a great song for accordion.
I don't really care for the arrangement that he is playing of it. (I prefer the simpler arrangement, but to each their own)
The arrangement that he is playing is available in the Palmer-Hughes Accordion Course book 7.
The one that I play and like is in the Everybody's Favorite Accordion Pieces book 26.

I do agree that the accordion he is playing has a lovely tone. I am thinking it is an older italo american with LMMM tuning. (but that is just a guess)

Y, Ive heard arrangements Ive preferred but I was more interested in the accordion make... and it was an expedient way to show it.
And Ive got an old copy of that book somewhere.. :tup: not sure if its book 26 without digging but its unlikely to have changed from the earlier books.

Hi Ed; The accordion is a Dallape. JIM D.

 

[Soulsaver]

It's a beauty. Great looks, and great tone. Not seen that style before.

 

[jarvo]

Hang about on his page and a cornucopia of delights follow......I especially like Midnight in Moscow and Autumn Leaves

 

[Piotr]

Arranged by Gary Dahl for accordion

Well done Piotr!

Here's still another version:

 

[Ric46]

I like this accordionist Dingo.

 

[Dingo40]

Ric,
Very evocative!
He's quite an accomplished player with a large repertoire
This clip is so charmingly old world Italian, yet he bears a Germanic family name.
