STANDING OVATION FOR RADU RATOI MOLDAVIAN ACCORDIONIST IN THE SAN FRANCESCO CULTURAL CENTER - SUNDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER AT THE CLOSING CONCERT OF THE INTERNATIONAL MUSIC FESTIVAL OF VENTIMIGLIA (4 VIDEOS)


Standing ovation for the Moldovan accordionist Radu Ratoi on Sunday September 1ST 2024 in the “San Francesco” Cultural Center in Via Garibaldi 37A, on the final evening of the Ventimiglia International Music Festival 2024. Praised for his originality, versatility, virtuosity in the classical and contemporary, Radu is the winner of the most important accordion competitions. Furthermore, he is the holder of one of the most important art awards of the Republic of Moldova "Master's Degree in Arts" offered by the president of the country, Maia Sandu, for his extraordinary achievements. One of its specific characteristics that makes it unique and precious is the way in which it combines two important musical traditions: the Russian school and that of Western Europe, fusing them in a very personal style. In Ventimiglia Radu performed the Overture from the "Pygmalion" RTC52 followed by the English Suite n° 3 by Johann Sebastian Bach. A tribute to Franz Liszt with Transcendental Etude n° 10 followed by Anatomic Safari by Per Nørgård. Carl Nielsen could not be missing from a festival also organized by the Foundation which took its name and Radu Ratoi performed in an exemplary way: From 5 piano pieces op.3, I. Folk tune and II Humoresque. A tribute to Camille Saint-Saëns with Dance Macabre and to Drazan Kosoric with Balkan Tango. By popular request of the public, a particular improvised encore and a standing ovation for the young musician.

The International Music Festival of Ventimiglia 2024 ended leaving the hearts of all the audiences full of musical warmth who, from evening to evening from 28 August to 1 September 2024, crossed the portal of the former church of San Francesco in Ventimiglia Alta. An audience that has increased in number and quality day by day, responding positively to the organizers who have prepared an exceptional festival. The appointment is for next year again in Ventimiglia for the fourth edition. info: Elisabeth Nielsen, Artistic Director, +39 349 665 5717, nielsen.saloner@gmail.com Lars Mortensen President Nielsen Saloner, https://www.facebook.com/nielsensaloner, +45 21 41 00 08, nielsen.saloner@gmail.com
