About

In can be no susprise that Piazzolla was accused of 'strange ideas and senseless modernism' when he presented his 'tango nuevo' in Argentina in the 1950s. This 'new tango' retained the basic mood of sadness, desperation, disappointment and frustration typical of the 'traditional' tango, but at the same time used elements from the areas of classical music, jazz and rock, and therefore seems to have a more complicated and elaborate structure. This title features a selection of Piazzolla's most completely realised compositions in thrilling new arrangements for piano trio and performed by three of Europe's most distinguished soloists.
