Pietro Valente


Recommended Posts

Have recently purchased a CD through ebay - "Pietro Valente mit Otto Weis Trio".

 

I am very taken with the style of of this excellent English concertina player.

 

Does anyone have any more information about this gentleman or know if he has any other music CD's available.

 

I'm new to concertina net and looking forward to utilising this excellent resource as much as possible.

I have had the pleasure of hearing a pupil of Pietro's, Erwin Pruss (otherwise known as Concertino) play. I don't know if there are any other recordings of Pietro, but Erwin/Concertino did show me a video of a German TV programme made about the life of Pietro and his family.

More about him? He's a character and a clown, a consummate performer, as well as a fine player in both classical and jazz idioms. A joyful person to meet.

 

As for recordings, aside from the video Samantha mentioned, I think he has only the one CD. In hopeful spirit I will add... so far. :)
