Marc Grauwels - Tango Live - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Recorded in 1985 at the International Guitar Festival in Liège, maestro Astor Piazzolla (the mentor of modern tango) is joined by Argentinean guitarist Cacho Tirao, Cuban bandleader and guitarist Leo Brouwer (here conducting the Liège Royal Philharmonic Orchestra), Belgian flautist Marc Grauwels, and Guy Lukowski, the guitarist and the Festival's Artistic Director/Producer who initiated this musical work. Their programme begins with an extraordinarily sensitive performance of the Adios Nonino requiem by the virtuoso bandoneon player, containing notably the first performance of his InchHistoire du TangoInch. The recording closes with Cacho Tirao's wonderful piece InchConcerto de Buenos AiresInch. Frémeaux & Associés is proud to be associated with Guy Lukowski in making this masterly recording available to the public again. It is without a doubt one of the finest moments that the tango has given us. Augustin Bondoux/Patrick Frémeaux
