Hit: 4 Stars
Although a very short album its still one of my favourite Piazzolla recordings. All the tracks are brilliant & as one of Piazzolla's last albums it is also definitely one of the best.Free Music Review: A wonderful collaboration & one of the best Piazzolla discs
Hit: 5 Stars
Astor Piazzolla has collaborated with many wonderful artists over the years (including Gary Burton, Milva and many others), but this collaboration with Kronos Quartet is very special and extra extra wonderful. Piazzolla's music is not tango strictly speaking, but a 'sui generis" musical world on its own right, a 'fusion' of the tango tradition with classical and jazz elements, where the tango is the prima materia that the artist used and alchemically refined into gold.
These five pieces for string quartet and bandoneon explore a range of emotions that will speak differently to everyone and what differentiates them somewhat from other Piazzolla music is a feeling of 'quietness' and peace, the explosive material that one usually finds in Piazzolla here is subdued in sweet melancholy. Personally, whenever I listen to this disc, I'm left with a feeling of beauty, sweetness and aching longing.
An essential disc for good music lovers.
Free Music Review: Piazzolla and Kronos are an excellent team
Hit: 5 Stars
When I bought this CD, I didn't know what exactly to expect because after all tango isn't one of those things I like alot. But this record with it's improvisations and it's rather mellowy combination of quartet and bandoneon made the music sound more like a soundtrack to a movie. Excellent work on both sides of the performance, highly recommended to Latin American music lovers or French film lovers.Free Music Review: Piazzola plays with Kronos!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the recording that inspired Piazzola to write Four for Tango especially for the Kronos quartet. The music is great, the performance is excellent, and best of all you get to hear Piazzola himself. Very good reflective piece.
