L'accordeoniste. In the harmony of time
[documentary, 82', HD, 2015] Windrose, the french worldwide distribution company, distributes our documentary "The accordeoniste. In the harmony of time", whose Rough Cut was already selected by Biografilm Festival 2015 - Bio To B. We are organizing the new premiére in Paris of the film, scheduled Nov. 2015 at the Cinema du Panthéon and cancelled after the terrible attacks of 13 november.
In the harmony of time is a documentary about the love of music that tells the experiences
of Richard Galliano, the most famous and complete musician in the world in the history of accordion,
and the story of Paolo Gandolfi, a young man from an Italian rural family
who in the Fifties became World Accordion Champion at the age of 21.
Travelling through Italy, France, Canada and Brazil, we will discover the history
of two great persons, in a film that talks about passion for music, about teaching young people,
about determination in achieving goals, about the importance of human relationships.
Richard Galliano, fired by an unrivalled determination to share his conviction that the accordion
deserves a place at the heart of jazz alongside the saxophone and trumpet, began playing the accordion
at the age of four and plays today in theatres all around the world, holding about 100 concerts a year.
He has the privilege to become the first accordionist-composer to record on the legendary
German label Deutsche Grammophon (in company with such famous musicians
as Pierre Boulez, Hélène Grimaud, Daniel Barenboim, Chick Corea...).
In his career Paolo Gandolfi has played at the Olympia Theatre in Paris and the Carnegie Hall
in New York, he has played for Pope John XXIII and for Robert Kennedy,
and shared the stage with Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet and Luciano Pavarotti.
He even played for Richard Galliano: in 1962, at the age of twelve, Richard was in the audience
at one of Gandolfi’s concerts on the Côte d’Azur, accompanied by his father Lucien,
an accordion teacher of Italian origin who had emigrated to France.
Today Richard Galliano thrills audiences all over the world
and the best young accordionists in the world aspire to take part in his Master Classes.
