Artie Shaw - The Last Recordings, Vol. 3 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Latin American music is rarely heard in classical music. And wrongly so, as Duo Lontano prove on their new GENUIN album. Babette Hierholzer and Jürgen Appell present arrangements for piano four hands, introducing us to the world of tangos, waltzes, and capriccios of the diverse continent. Among them are compositions by Louis Moreau Gottschalk, whom Chopin once predicted to become the Inchking of pianists.Inch This is indeed the case, at least in Latin America, where he laid the groundwork and inspired many other wonderful works by Teresa Carreno and José White Lafitte. Duo Lontano also interpret InchLatinInch tango classics by Carlos Gardel and Astor Piazzolla as well as well-known melodies such as InchBésame muchoInch or InchMalaguenaInch with plenty of temperament and elegance.
