Vaudeville Accordion Classics: Complete Works by Guido Deiro Double CD

Description: The Classical Free Reed Inc Henry Doktorski's The Classical Free-Reed, Inc. eBay Store is pleased to offer the following item for sale/auction: Two-CD anthology Count Guido Deiro (1886-1950), Italian-American composer and accordion virtuoso, was a major force in the popularization of the accordion in the early 20th century. A vaudeville star by 1910, he was the first piano accordionist to make sound recordings and solo radio broadcasts. For many years Deiro was a headline attraction at the great vaudeville houses throughout America and abroad, and made more than 100 recordings for the Columbia record company. Concert accordionist Henry Doktorski has recorded all of Deiro's music -- 47 new recordings including waltzes, rags, marches, polkas, and Deiro favorites: My Florence Waltz, Egypto Fantasia, Sharpshooter's March, and the Broadway hit, Kismet. Doktorski's dashing and sparkling performances of Deiro's music quickly confirm the reason for Deiro's immense popularity. In 1913, Deiro met Mae West, the young vaudeville performer and burgeoning sex symbol. A passionate romance ensued and the couple married secretly. Henry Doktorski's liner notes candidly detail their relationship, and photographs and newspaper clippings from Deiro's own scrapbooks are included in this two-CD set, consisting of 2 hours and 25 minutes of music. Guido Deiro's delightful compositions are a window onto an era long past -- an artist delighting audiences with soaring melodies, instrumental virtuosity, and abundant high spirits. This anthology will be exuberantly received not only by accordion aficionados, but also by audiophiles in mainstream music circles, much like the rediscovery of Scott Joplin's music, twenty-five years ago. Truly a treasured item in the library of the discriminating accordion aficionado. Overseas customers: Click here for shipping rates.
