Liner Note Authors: Annie Gasnier; Emmanuel Chamboredon. Recording information: MAD (Moulin a Danses), Lausanne, Switzerland. Piazzolla was nearing the end of his distinguished career when he performed this concert in Switzerland in 1989; he divided it between playing classic material and debuting compositions. The first half was devoted to songs from the 1950s to the late '80s, while the second portion featured new material titled "Tango Nuevo, Nuevo." Each section was marked by swaying, hypnotic bandoneon solos with full lines, elegant melodies and romantic passages. This wasn't issued until a year after Piazzolla's death; it's a wonderful reminder of his greatness. ~ Ron Wynn
While tango had long been associated with the dancehalls of Buenos Aires, Astor Piazolla reinvented the music for the concert stage. In the 1950s and 1960s, he infused tango with the oblique harmonies of jazz and classical music, as well as new instruments such as electric guitar, and although he may have alienated traditionalists, he gained a worldwide audience seduced by his music's exotic beauty. Over the course of five decades, Piazolla continually expanded the scope of the tango--or "tango nuevo," as his music came to be called--to produce a wealth of inventive, emotionally rich music. He died in 1992.
