Accordionist Théo Ould became, at the age of 24, the first accordionist to be shortlisted as a “Newly Discovered Talent” at the Victoires de la Musique Classique awards. Le Monde raved: “Served by a masterly technique (an unbelievably supple left hand and an inexhaustible wealth of phrasing), Théo Ould’s interpretations show a personality expressing itself naturally in terms of the imagination, with all the enchanting freshness that word implies.” Twenty years after first hearing Piazzolla’s Libertango at the age of 6, Ould’s second solo album is dedicated to the Argentine composer, joined by the Bilitis quartet, double bass player Blanche Stromboni, and mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti. Ould’s upcoming fall tour includes a solo recital at Barrington’s White House in Barrington, IL.
