I love the music of the Tango, so I had immediate interest in this recording:
Tango Sensations perfectly illustrates the intensity of the Tango Nuevo culture. Daniel Gruselle and the Collectif Arsys have made the features of the Latin American musical culture their own in the shape of this magical CD.
Who would have thought that, when many Argentines were in Exile during the Military Junta in the country from 1976 to 1983, the arrival in Europe of musicians such as Astor Piazzolla or Juan José Mosalini would see the birth of a genuine artistic movement which would go beyond the phenomenon of a new representation of World Music.
Nadia Boulanger predicted this when emphatically saying to Piazzolla: “You will become the Bartok of your country”. This singular and creative energy manifests itself nowadays not only in the way this great Master’s work is revisited but also in the compositions of a generation of additional musicians
These demanding music scores, written with sharp rhythms, expressionist flights and velvet sounds require performers to bring along the full potential of their instrument, their emotional wealth and their aptitude to find the greatest possible cohesion of their ensemble.
This CD is a testament to the relevance of such a gathering of musicians from different backgrounds, where excellence is the main focus.
Here is music by Astor Piazzola for your enjoyment:
