What is this music? Tango, jazz, classical?
Sounds of the city, sounds of people, passion, power, despair, drama, romance, regret; traversing Bach fugal influences, improvisation, Latin jazz, and the re-invention of the tango form. No-one composed like Piazzolla, the magician of the bandoneon.
TangoMundo presents a programme of the best and least known of Piazzolla’s works, some never played in Australia before. Featuring (from the National Academy of Tango, Buenos Aires) tango scholar and arranger Guillermo Anad on viola, Faye Bendrups on piano and voice, and Anthony Schulz on accordion.
“The great achievement of TangoMundo is to mix classical and popular nuances of my father’s music using an unexpected combination of only three instruments: viola, accordion and piano. This is a novel and entirely Piazzollean approach” Daniel Piazzolla, Buenos Aires.
