Genesis – New Album launch for Accordionist Bartosz Glowacki – 20th November 2019

Bartosz Glowacki launches his exciting new accordion album in London before it’s worldwide release

Old Church, Stoke Newington on 20th November at 19.30 

Works by Scarlatti, Bach, Pärt, Gubaidulina, Piazzolla and a piece by Vlasov combined with a striking animation by Magsalena Suszek-Bak
Genesis, debut album of Bartosz Glowacki, includes music from various eras and styles. It features baroque transcriptions by Scarlatti and Rameau alongside a wide range of contemporary accordion works by Trojan, Gubaidulina, Pärt and Vlasov.

The recording concludes with the Double Concerto by Astor Piazzolla, featuring the guitarist Rob Luft and conductor Elias Peter Brown. The electric guitar and accordion emerge from the musical landscape set by the chamber orchestra whose freedom of ornamentation echoes the Nuevo Tango style.

Genesis will be released worldwide on 22nd November 2019 by the record label DUX. Bartosz is very grateful for the generous support of the City Music Foundation who funded the recording of the album.
