Martynas

Description

The beginnings at Decca of accordion genius Martynas Martynas' self-titled album is a smiling and energetic exploration of a forgotten instrument. A recording intended to break temporal boundaries while introducing the young Lithuanian accordionist to a wide audience. The stunning arrangements of classical themes, gypsy dances, and contemporary pop tunes illustrate the full musical and expressive range of the virtuosic accordionist. Global hits like Telephone by Lady Gaga, Hot'N'Cold by Katy Perry sit alongside Brahms' Hungarian Dance or Verdi's La Forza Del Destino. Martynas performs the tango Por una cabeza by Carlos Gardel with superstar violinist David Garrett with irresistible freshness and invites us to dance to the passionate Brazilian song Nossa Nossa, proving that the accordion can travel the world and through the centuries.
