Winner of the 1999 Accordion Contest World Championship! A noteworthy accordionist! About this work \"This album simultaneously reflects my French and Italian roots. They are Paris and Naples.\" (Christophe Lampidecchia) The accordion was patented in Vienna in 1892. It was Italian immigrants who brought the accordion to Paris. Until then, the bagpipes were the main instrument played in Parisian dance halls, but the accordion quickly took over as the main instrument. Today, the accordion is an indispensable instrument in French music. This work was created by Christophe Lampidecchia (hereinafter Lampidecchia), a French-born musician with a family of immigrants from Naples, while reflecting on the two cities of Naples and Paris. The album begins with Neapolitan standards \"O Sole Mio\" and \"Torna a Surriento.\" It also includes Italian-rooted pieces such as the Italian canzone \"Come Prima\" and \"The Godfather Love Theme.\" Next are classic Parisian accordion music (Paris Musette) tunes \"Indifference\" and \"La Cine.\" Furthermore, it features \"Neapolitan Breeze\" and \"La Rital,\" which evoke an Italian feel within the Paris Musette genre. The selection of songs is truly characteristic of Lampidecchia. The album's producer is the renowned guitarist Dominique Clavic, a key figure in the current Paris Musette scene. Jean-Philippe Vall?e, a leading figure in French jazz, plays double bass, and his wonderful interplay with Lampidecchia's accordion on \"Neapolitan Breeze\" and \"Indifference\" is particularly impressive. Guest vocalist Tania Zoppi, who has roots in Naples, delivers a deeply emotional performance on \"Torna a Surriento\" and \"Mariu, Words of Love.\" Enjoy the accordion melodies that connect Naples and Paris. Producer's comment: This album is Lampidecchia's self-introduction to the Japanese audience. I wanted to showcase his diverse talents, which encompass a variety of musical approaches including waltz musette, jazz, Neapolitan music, and habanera.
