Customer Reviews
Jason tackles Piazzola
From Bach to Ponce to Metheny Jason has taken on many masters flawlessly, his playing is always perfect and inspired. THIS is a great one.
Evocative Piazzolla
This disc begins with Julian Labro’s (bandoneon) arrangement of Piazzolla’s version of The Four Seasons – and it sizzles! I’ve heard this piece performed on several occasions, but this particular group and arrangement is particularly noteworthy. The tempos are energetic, the playing precise, and the feeling of the seasons definitely comes through. This is extremely well done.
Next is “Hommage a Liege”, a Concerto for Guitar, Bandoneon, and String Orchestra. The guitar work is top-notch marvelous, and the first movement (featuring only the guitar and bandoneon) is really fascinating. Kudos to the recording engineer for capturing these two instruments and conveying their warm sound this accurately. The orchestra joins in the second movement, and the music is pleasant and exuberant. The last movement is a Tango, and Piazzolla and the musicians give us exactly what we expect here – good, solid, enjoyable music.
The final work on the recording is “Histoire du Tango”, which consists of four different “snapshots” of the tango and its evolution over the last 100 years. You can definitely hear the “bordello” origins from 1900, the café environment circa 1930, the nightclub atmosphere of 1960, and finally a more contemporary concert version in the “Concert d’Aujourd’hui” movement. The liner notes are also very good and describe the musicians and works on the program with a not inappropriate level of detail.
If you are interested in exploring Piazzolla’s music, or already appreciate and love it, this disc would make a worthy addition to your collection. Recommended.
