ARTISTS Astor Piazzolla, bandoneon Pinchas Steinberg
Directed by José Montes Baquer
TRACK LISTING PIAZZOLLA: Concerto for Bandoneon, Guitar and String Orchestra Astor Piazzolla talks about his life and work - a first-time release on any format. The Next Tango is the story of Astor Piazzolla, legendary creator of the 'tango Nuevo.' In this fascinating film from 1986, Piazzolla - known in his native Argentina as 'El Gran Ástor' - performs three of his works with the Cologne Radio Orchestra and talks with Andres Salcedo about his life, his career, and the irresistible phenomenon that is tango. With his 'new tango,' composer and bandoneón virtuoso Astor Piazzolla brought Argentina's dance of passion, grace, and sexual power into international concert halls. 'Tango is a kind of music which gets to you, plain and simple.' Astor Piazzolla 'There is the tango before the arrival of Piazzolla and the tango afterwards.' Ernesto Sabato |
