Piazzolla / Benitez - Music of Astor Piazzolla - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

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. Album Tracks 1. Adios Nonino 2. Oblivion 3. Verano Porteno 4. Homage a Cordoba 5. Homage a Liege 6. Loving 7. Fear 8. Chiquilin de Bachin

This is an album of great works by the master of the tango, Astor Piazzolla, brilliantly performed on violin, cello, and piano. The Piazzolla da Camera Trio celebrates ten years dedicated to the exclusive performance of the works of modern tango master Astor Piazzolla. Having travelled the world to bring attention to the beauty and bravado of what audiences and critics have celebrated as 'exquisitely Argentine' and 'simply delicious in execution,' these musicians strive to look beyond the written note, and bring to light the rich colors and sounds of the Buenos Aires cityscape. The Piazzolla da Camera Trio's recent debut at the prestigious St-Martin-in-the-Fields in London received a standing ovation from a standing-room only audience. In addition to regular appearances in Arizona and New Mexico, the group has performed and taught educational workshops in Thailand. The Piazzolla da Camera Trio consists of violinist Carla Kountoupes, cellist Andrew Nickles, and pianist Oscar Macchioni. Album Tracks 1. La Muerte Del Angel 2. Oblivión 3. Las Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas 4. Ave Maria 5. Milonga Del Angel 6. Le Grand Tango 7. Cinco Piezas
