Tango is soul, pain, and sensuality - the whole spectrum of emotions - and when composed by Astor Piazzolla it is in a musical language that crosses borders, styles, and generations. Tangokvintetten plays Piazzolla in a way that makes it clear why he is often referred to as the most renowned composer of tango music in the world. Piazzolla lifted the tango from Argentinian bars, brothels, and milongas into concert halls throughout the world, infusing it with elements of classical and jazz music, yet remaining faithful to its soul. Piazzolla lived and worked on three continents, which is clearly audible in his music. In this recording, the versatile musicians of Tangokvintetten emphasize this diversity, bringing flavours of classical and jazz, as well as folk and rock music into the wondrous scores of Piazzolla. They lead the way on a musical journey through the entire kaleidoscope of human emotions, from ecstatic joy to the blue notes of melancholy. The exacting compositions are enriched by vibrant improvisations, and with the sublime chamber playing and refined timbre that always accompany Tangokvintetten on stage, a unique concert experience awaits audiences worldwide!
