"Quite...we're filming..."This is the second time I have written a declaration of love for the accordion and for the music of Frédéric Daverio. I have described Daverio as an accordiononophore, whose instrument is like an extension of himself. Listening to his latest work, I can only stand by what I said. There is a pact of mutual respect between him and the accordion, alongside a sense of humour and a wealth of inventiveness. In his hands, this heavy and powerful instrument becomes something light, while he is seriously and soberly adventurous. No clichés come to spoil the lyricism of the instrument, which is known in France as “le piano à bretelles” (“the piano with braces”), and which strikingly but modestly expresses a universal sensibility. In “silence…on tourne” (“Quiet… we’re filming”), you will hear phrases reminiscent of bal-musette literature, accents of tango and a touch of the barrel organ, but here everything is recreated and reinvented, and becomes uncatagorisable, contemporary, intemporal. This is great art.
(Georges Moustaki)
“ …emotional music, full of finesse, depth, seriousness, and an irresistible touch of romantic genius. It’s sweet, it’s strong, it’s like riding over a hill, it jumps out at you as you go round a bend, it warms you up as you race downhill, it’s electrifying, it flows like a stream and beats like a hundred hearts…”
(François Rollin)
