Vincent Peirani

Born: April 24, 1980

The French accordionist, vocalist and composer Vincent Peirani was born in Nice on 24.4.1980. He started playing the accordion at the age of eleven. One year later he began taking lessons in classical music for clarinet and accordion at the "Conservatoire National de Région" in Nice, and it didn't take long for his gift to start showing.

Between 1994 and 1998, as a teenager, he won numerous international awards and competitions for classical accordion, including the Klingenthaler Accordion Competition (Germany), the award of the accordion festival in Castelfidardo (Italy), the "Trophée Mondial at Cassino" (Italy) and the international "Reinach" accordion competition (Switzerland). The highlight of these accolades was the first place in the competition for classical accordion at the "Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique" in Paris in 1996. These early successes quickly enabled Vincent Peirani to appear at festivals all around Europe (Bayreuth, Salzburg, Vienna, Rome, Stockholm).

In a few hours, the melody and the chords were established, an absolute compositional masterpiece, full stop. So much beauty served by implacable writing rigor: giants achieve it. Vincent Peirani achieves it. “Physical Attraction," released on ...

I dischi del 2025 secondo Neri Pollastri

by Neri Pollastri
January 20, 2026

Eccoci come tutti gli anni a stilare la lista dei migliori dischi dell'anno... Vana, inutile, sterile, pretenziosa, discriminatoria, eppure a suo modo anche necessaria, non tanto perché tutti ne fanno una, o partecipano a concorsi che ne stilano di collettive, quanto perché alla fine di ogni anno ha una sua utilità, personale e pubblica, reimmergersi nei ...

I Dischi del 2025 secondo Ludovico Granvassu

by Ludovico Granvassu
January 5, 2026

Immortalare la bellezza e la varietà del jazz pubblicato nel 2025 attraverso una “top ten" appare tanto arduo, vano--e alla fine deludente--quanto cercare di fotografare un tramonto sulla costiera amalfitana usando una rudimentale fotocamera digitale e facendo un forellino sul copriobiettivo. Certo, una foto verrà scattata. Potrebbe persino dimostrare che eri lì, in quel momento, quando ...
