QT Pno (E Major)/Trio Pno (D Major) music CDs. There's a wide world to be traversed inside this squeezebox. Guy Klucevsek is new music's ambassador of the accordion, as a performer, composer and commissioner of a wide variety of works whose intentions range from the rigorous to the amusing.

Other deeply personal works are Somei Satoh's spiritually reflective Recitative (written after his stepfather's death) and Jerome Kitzke's boisterous Breath and Bone (a elegy for a good friend). Klucevsek's Burt Bacharach arrangements move from the delightfully ridiculous to the sublimely ethereal in just a few short minutes. The performer writes that Lars Hollmer's piece has "one of the most beautiful melodies I have ever heard," while Klucevsek's own Three of a Kind offer what Starkland feels are possibly his most austerely gorgeous works yet. Add in Stephen Montague's virtuousic work and Lois V Vierk's energetic piece (also both premiere recordings) and the result is a powerful, highly varied recording. Starkland's previous ...
