WITH THE SOUNDS OF NUEVO TANGO with Cyprus Symphony Orchestra
Markideion Municipal Theatre, Paphos
3 June 2021 -2030
Also at Rialto Theatre, Limassol 4 June 2021
Enjoy a programme with the sizzling rhythms and sounds of Nuevo tango, the revolutionary new style of tango created by the Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla in the mid-20th century. Incorporating elements from classical and jazz music into the traditional Argentinian tango, his work takes us straight to the heart of the most intense human emotions.
2021 marks the 100th birthday of Astor Piazzolla which we celebrate with two of his most representative works: the Four Seasons of Buenos Aires (Estaciones Porteñas) and the mysterious and tense Tangazo: Variations on Buenos Aires.
Originally scored for Piazzolla’s quintet (that of course included the bandoneón!), you will hear the Estaciones Porteñas in Leonid Desyatnikov’s arrangement for solo violin and strings, interspersed with quotations from Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, thus offering a fascinating connection between the two works.
Our programme also features the world premiere of the Concerto for three guitars by the contemporary Argentinian composer/guitarist Maximo Diego Pujol, following in Piazzolla’s footsteps, merges the traditional tango and folk genres with classical forms and styles.
