Default Classical music on the accordion??

I ran into a recording of a young accordionist some weeks ago.
He plays Vivaldi, Bach and Scarlatti on accordion.
For me accordion is only an instrument for folkmusic, so I was very suprised.

But the question is: Is it good or just tasteless??

I adore the free-reed of the accordion, bandoneón, concertina, harmonica, reed organ, and the greatest of them all, the harmonium d'art (Kunstharmonium).

Karg-Elert, Dvorák, Bizet, Rossini, Franck, Guilmant, Schönberg, Lemmens, et al., all wrote for the harmonium.

A talented accordion player Mr. Andersson is. The accordion is a truly versatile instrument, and I dream of learning it someday. I've already gone quite far with the piano and violin, so playing an accordion would be really nice.

Gubaidulina and Piazzolla wrote great compositons for accordion or lrelated instruments (bandoneon, bayan).
