| Philippe BORECEK (1967 - )  FranceRegistered since 02/11/2011  ?Philippe Borecek, an exceptionally gifted musician, gives here musical interpretations that do credit to the new generation of musicians. The world of accordionists is yet richer with a new indisputable talent.? (Marcel Azolla, in a text written for the release of Philippe Borecek?s first solo recording.)
After a solid classical training at the Conservatoire d?Issy-les-Moulineaux, and after having won national and international concert accordion prizes (such as the Castelfidardo Prize in Italy, the World Cup in Arnhem in the Netherlands, and the International Accordion Grand Prize in Saint Etienne in France), Philippe Borecek is now broadening the range of his musical experiments. He has been invited to play with the Radio-France Philarmonic Orchestra under the lead of Marek Janowski on several occasions. He has also taken part in musical theatre shows (such as Opéraccordéon by Michèle Guignon, co-produced by Théâtre d?Ivry-CCAS-Conseil Général du Val de Marne; Cabaret Brecht, produced by the Comédie de Reims; Le Petit Bal Perdu, by J.P. Viault, produced by L?Yonne-en-Scène), in operas and operettas (V?lan dans l?oeil by Hervé, staged by Mireille Laroche and produced by the Opéra Comique, Raphaël reviens by Bernard Cavanna and produced by ARCAL), as well as in films for the cinema and for television (Belle époque, by Gavin Millard, with André Dussolier and Kristin Scott-Thomas) ? He has played with several singers, among whom Philippe Meyer, in his show entitled Paris, la nuit, at the Théâtre Mouffetard in Paris.
Thanks to his duet with accordionist Pascal Le Pennec, he was able to tour France and other countries (Germany, Romania, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia), and he had a CD released with SKARBO dedicated to the Opéra de Quat?Sous by Brecht and Weill. The CD was praised by the critics (?This feat was wonderfully undertaken by two key artists passionately fond of the music they play? in Répertoire des Disques Compact, June 1999).
In 2003, he took part in the founding of the Quatuor Vagabond, and they created two shows for the Avignon Festival in 2006 and 2008, with the backing of the ADAMI and the SPEDIDAM. Newspaper La Provence commented: ?Full of life, grace and humour. This is a delightful show.?; ?These ?vagabonds? or wanderers combine an utmost virtuosity with a staggering sense of comedy?. The show was elected ?Favourite Show? by the editorial staff of Vaucluse Matin. Website lestroiscoups.com added: ?Contains extremely poetical moments?.
In August 2004, Pierre Cao (an Internationally famous choir conductor) asked him to take part in the creation of Missa Ioseph carpentorum ductor for eight singers and two accordions, by French composer Vincent Bouchot, for the Rencontres Internationales de Vézelay.
In 2009 he came back to his initial passion, and worked on a new repertoire he called Liturgical Accordion. The show was created at the Collégiale Saint-Lazare in Avallon during the Festival des Trois Muses.
In 2010 this recital was performed in a tour of Burgundy churches. Philippe Borecek was also invited to play at the Jennesdorf Stadpfarrenkirche in Austria, and the ORF Austrian television channel shot a report on his performance. He also played two pieces from this recital for the TV8 Mont-Blanc Sunday program ?Accordéon Passion?.
In 2011, he plays the 'Petite Messe Solennelle' by Rossini conducted by Remi Gousseau at Paris (Hide extended text) ... (Read all)
