专辑简介

This CD is a collection of mostly Astor Piazzolla contemporary, Argentine tango concert pieces, plus music by Daniel Binelli, Nestor Marconi, Carlos Aguirre, and Mariano Mores. For purposes of this review, I will focus on the Piazzolla interpretations, so dramatic and infused with pathos, passion, and power. In fact, these are some of the most mesmerizing arrangements of Piazzolla’s refined music ever heard. Argentinean Daniel Binelli, a former member of Piazzolla’s Sextet, plays bandoneón from the gut, with every ounce of nerve and emotion he can muster. Uruguayan Pianist, Polly Ferman is a longtime musical partner of Binelli and has mastered his timing. (See an interview of Binelli and Ferman). Argentinean guitarist, Eduardo Isaac is a novel and exciting addition to this renowned duo. It was almost impossible to feature just four tracks, and Binelli’s compositions are edgy and Piazzolla-plus.
