Flores,Diego / Sabatier,William / Perez,Ciro - Desde Carlos Gardel-Cancionero Porteno - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Piazzolla / Benitez - Music of Astor Piazzolla [COMPACT DISCS] date 01/01/1999

There's Stravinsky, there's Bartók, there's Hindemith; but where is Piazzolla? With this question, the leading composition teacher Nadia Boulanger set the course of a musical about-turn in the work of her student Astor Piazzolla. We speak of tango nuevo - the new tango - created by this very man, Astor Piazzolla. At first, it brought the young composer little more than hostility in his Argentine homeland, but it later brought him world fame. To reach that point was a long journey. The present presents Piazzolla's concertos and chamber works performed by the trio of William Sabatier, Friedemann Wuttke, and Wilfried Holzenkamp. The trio first emerged as a duo when in 2017 bandoneon player William Sabatier and guitarist Friedemann Wuttke met at the Kiosk European Festival in Lyon. Out of this encounter arose a successful collaboration and beautiful friendship.

Limited white colored vinyl. Each year, in the weeks that follow End of the Road, the festival's founder, Simon Taffe, receives a flurry of emails. There are notes of thanks, of course, and the tying up of festival business, but in amongst them he will find numerous messages asking urgent questions such as InchWhat was that song playing two songs before Mac DeMarco came on?Inch It was in answer to these persistent queries that End of the Road decided to launch the first of what will be an ongoing compilation series Between the Music.
