Description
From the very beginning, Astor Piazzolla's tango music was an important source of inspiration for many musicians. In 1981, Piazzolla yet lived to see his Libertango rise to a hit in the German pop charts in Grace Jones' version of I've Seen That Face Before. 20 years later, people dance to the electronic version of the Piazzolla song Sur: Regreso al amor performed by the band Gotan Project in the in clubs and discotheques all over the world. The clarinet player and king of Klezmer Giora Feidmann, also born in Argentina, arranged Piazzolla tangos for a grand string orchestra, while violinist Gidon Kremer, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, pianist & conductor Daniel Barenboim as well as the Kronos Quartet discovered the "classic" Astor Piazzolla for their repertory. Meanwhile, Astor Piazzolla's oeuvre has been honoured by a large range of adaptations and arrangements worldwide, among them popular interpretations by Italian diva of song Milva, but also jazzy arrangements by Chick Corea, Gerry Mulligan, Gary Burton and Richard Galliano. Only rarely has a composer of the 20th century enjoyed a similar reception in such stylistic variety - Piazzolla's music found its entrance into pop music, folklore, jazz and classical music.After decades of worldwide tango reception, the current find in the radio broadcasting archive of the Deutsche Welle is all the nicer. Live in Colonia 1984 is a true discovery, a live concert recording by the Deutsche Welle in the Cologne studio from the year 1984 with the original Quinteto Tango Nuevo, consisting of world class musicians Pablo Ziegler (piano) Fernando Suarez Paz (violin), Oscar Lopez Ruiz (guitar), Hector Console (double bass) und Astor Piazzolla (bandoneon).
