About

Accordionist Théo Ould describes this new album as “my most shameful – it’s as if I hadn’t let myself play Astor’s music, not got my accordion out of the world of musical clichés, and concentrated on works that were more classical in style”. Théo’s vocation became evident, however, when he heard Piazzolla’s Libertango at the age of 6! Now, 20 years later, this Frenchman from Marseille tackles this music with fervour and exaltation through tailor-made arrangements performed alongside the Bilitis Quartet and the double bass player Blanche Stromboni, as well as mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti, who appears in a beautiful and heart-warming rendition of Balada para un loco, Piazzolla’s setting of a poem by Horacio Ferrer. Théo Ould is passionate about this music, inviting us to share in his enthusiasm by joining in Ferrer’s Balada: “Crawl into this tender delirium that burns within me, put on this wig woven from larks – and fly! Fly with me now! Come along, fly, come!”
