Yes. Apparently, he was a child (and adult) prodigy who burned out on the harpsichord, went to Romania, heard gypsy music, and took up the accordion.

I got to play a couple of times with him recently. At NEFFA (New England Folk Festival Association) for Russian couple dances, and in the Philadelphia area, for an English and Scottish country dance ball. He is a whiz at classical improvisation on the piano (can make any tune sound like Beethoven) and I think he must know by ear every folk tune of every culture that's ever been played on the accordion.
