Info for Tourbillons de Rameau

The accordion virtuoso Teodoro Anzellotti, a pioneering interpreter of contemporary music, meet one of the most extraordinary composers of the musical world of the 18th century, an era when the 'Roi Soleil’ („Sun King’) resided in France and high-ranking men wore grey curly wigs. Anzellotti dedicated himself to harpsichord pieces that he selected personally, and he inspired some of today's composers to deal with Rameau. And here the circle closes. Six contemporary accordion miniatures after Rameau were created in reflection with 21 works of Rameau's baroque art. Teodoro Anzellotti: ‘There are always surprises … I never have seen such music before, not even written by Scarlatti, such turns, such surprises … does anyone believe that compositions like that were possible 300 years ago … that someone had the courage to risk music which was ahead of its time … to write down things that didn't exist at that time, simply courageous … the forty years old Rameau was an avant-gardist in his time ... he was a revolutionary!’

Teodoro Anzellotti
Born in Apulia in southern Italy, Teodoro Anzellotti grew up near Baden-Baden. He pursued his accordion studies at the Hochschulen in Karlsruhe and Trossingen and quickly achieved victories at various international competitions.

Since the 1980s he has been a regular guest at the major festivals and with leading orchestras. Teodoro Anzellotti has successfully contributed to integrating the accordion into the sphere of classical music.

This has occurred principally through his service to New Music: through his development of performing techniques he has enlarged the tone-color capabilities and sonic profile of his instrument.

More than 300 new works have been written for Teodoro Anzellotti, by composers such as George Aperghis, Brice Pauset, Heinz Holliger, Toshio Hosokawa, Mauricio Kagel, Michael Jarrell, Isabel Mundry, Gerard Pesson, Matthias Pintscher, Wolfgang Rihm, Salvatore Sciarrino, Marco Stroppa, Jörg Widmann und Hans Zender.

Luciano Berio created for him his Sequenza XIII, which Mr. Anzellotti premiered in Rotterdam in 1995 and subsequently performed at major festivals worldwide. Since 1987 he has taught at the Hochschule der Künste Bern, and since 2002 at the Musikhochschule Freiburg im Breisgau as well.

His discography embraces a spectrum reaching from Bach and Scarlatti to Janácek and Satie to John Cage and Matthias Pintscher.
