Programme

  • 1921-1992

    Histoire du Tango (Piazzolla)

    i Bordel, 1900, ii Café, 1930, iii Nightclub, 1960, iv Concert d’aujourd’hui

    Histoire du Tango attempts to convey the history and evolution of the tango in four movements: Bordel 1900, Café 1930, Nightclub 1960, and Concert d’aujourd’hui. Café 1930 is another age of the tango. People stopped dancing it as they did in 1900, preferring instead simply to listen to it. It became more musical, and more romantic. This tango has undergone total transformation: the movements are slower, with new and often melancholy harmonies. Tango orchestras come to consist of two violins, two concertinas, a piano, and a bass. The tango is sometimes sung as well.

  • Sonatina, Op. 205 (Castelnuovo-Tedesco)

    Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895 – 1968) was an Italian composer, pianist and writer. He was known as one of the foremost guitar composers in the twentieth century with almost one hundred compositions for that instrument. In 1939 he immigrated to the United States and became a film composer for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for some 200 Hollywood movies for the next fifteen years. He also wrote concertos for Jascha Heifetz and Gregor Piatigorsky.

  • 1885-1944

    El Ultimo Tremolo (Barrios)

    Agustín Pío Barrios (1885 – 1944) was a Paraguayan virtuoso classical guitarist and composer, largely regarded as one of the greatest performers and most prolific composers for the guitar.

  • Virtuoso Flamenco Studies, No.1 (Zgraja)

    Krzysztof Zgraja (b 1950 ) – Polish flutist , multi-instrumentalist , composer , arranger . He is one of the most outstanding European jazz flutists.

  • First Milonga Last Tango (Goss)

  • Ivovo Horo Dance (Trad)

    Hora, also known as horo and oro, is a type of circle dance originating in Aromanian and Romanian communities, especially in Romania and Moldova. It is also found in other South East European countries (such as Bulgaria and North Macedonia) and culturally adopted by ethnic minorities such as the Ashkenazi Jews and the Roma.
