ACCORDION SOLO
”He thrills the audience, awakens emotions, plays with conventions and does not allow to label his musical style as he interprets various works with equal ease, whether it is Piazzolla, Bach, Przybylski or Penderecki”. Maria Peryt – Warner Music
”I do not think I have ever heard an accordion that would sound in such a spectacular and intimate way at the same time. Natural and original phrasing in Johann Sebastian Bach’s Partita in C minor No. 2 was astounding. Maciej Frąckiewicz is a sensitive musician whose intuitive sense of pulse, emotions and dramaturgy is undeniable. The strength of his performance lies in expressive articulation, broad dynamic range and narrative unconstraint which enables the artist to intensify the culminations. A feast for the ears and the soul”. Maciej Chiżyński – Fryderyk Chopin Institute
“The accordionist skilfully sketches contrasting profiles of the compositions using expressive, sharp and acute sounds interchangeably with majestic or sophisticated, lyric and soft ones. His insight into Baroque, Post-Romantic and Avant-garde style is very convincing. He enchants the listeners with cantilena and sounds’ accumulation, particularly in virtuoso fragments, attracts their attention by exploring possibilities of his concert instrument which occasionally resembles organ and at other times – electronic music. His music demonstrates contrasts, is mature and evocative, creates a gloomy or solemn and elevated atmosphere. Maciej Frąckiewicz takes the listeners for a spiritual journey which becomes eschatological at times”. CzasKultury.pl
His most recent engagements include concerts at Folefest in Lisbon in 2014 (classical solo repertoire), ISCM World Music Days in Wrocław in 2014 (performance involving contemporary compositions) and WDR 3 in Cologne in 2012 (J.S.Bach’s Goldberg Variations).
He worked with Krzysztof Penderecki on Sinfonietta for accordion solo which he premiered and edited for print for SCHOTT Musik.
