Samples - Piazzolla
Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992) is especially
known for being one of the greatest Argentinean
bandoneon performers. Like the guitarist Andres
Segovia Piazzolla has taken his instrument and
the tango on to an international concert stage.
He started to play the bandoneon at a very early
age and played when only thirteen years old with
Carlos Gardél and his band. Once his extraordinary
talent was discovered he joint the band of
Anibal Tróila, the master of the classical tango.
After Tróila’s death Piazzolla went to Paris to
study with a government scholarship under
Nadia Boulanger. Probably thanks to her
Piazzolla became aware of the possibilities of the
music of South America and, more particular, the
tango music of his homeland Argentina. From
this time Piazzolla´s reformed the traditional
tango into a style that was called the 'tango
nuevo'. Back in his homeland he was soon recognized
the leading figure of the genre and it didn´t
take long before his international breakthrough
became a fact. In 1973 he moved again to
Europe; this time to Italy where he started a
recording project that took five years to complete.
In this time he composed his famous
“Libertango”, a work that brought him fame and
an enormous success in Europe. The setting for
mandolin orchestra of the “Libertango” was
made after hearing a fine arrangement of it for
accordion orchestra that was made by Marc
Belder. With this in mind the liberty was taken
to perform this beautiful composition with our
orchestra.
