Info for Piazzolla: Tango Nuevo

The tangos of legendary performer and composer Astor Piazzolla are informed by a multicultural upbringing which saw him introducing the influences of Classical, Jazz, Rock and Klezmer music into a unique Nuevo Tango style which still sounds fresh and modern today. Histoire du Tango sums up the genre’s entire evolution, Le Grand Tango is a virtuoso show-stopper, while Melodía en la menor expresses deep personal turmoil. Renowned Argentinian violinist Tomas Cotik’s special arrangements also include Oblivion and Libertango, two of Piazzolla’s most popular and enduring pieces.

„…there is no question that this disc is, by some distance, Naxos’s best Piazzolla recording, one which probably gives the music connoisseur a good fifty percent of all the Piazzolla he or she needs to know…“ (MusicWeb International)

„The Piazzolla album is not just Cotik as brilliant interpreter—his virtuosic flame burns brightly as well as lightly, while not neglecting the quiet joys of glowing embers in more reflective passages—but also as creative mind. Seven of the pieces on the album are Cotik’s own arrangements, written to showcase his phenomenal technique as well as capturing the full rhythmic energy of the music. Lin is an able, enthusiastic and equally fiery collaborator throughout. In short, this album is a treat from start to finish—not just for fans of Piazzolla’s music, but for anyone who appreciates the art of playing the violin.“ (John Terauds, Musical Toronto)
