  • Description

    Astor Piazzolla's introduction of new rhythms and harmonies into the tango won him worldwide fame. Tango Suite, for two guitars, is one of the finest duo works in the repertoire, offering fireworks and percussive effects as well as exquisite melancholy. Yuri Liberzon has arranged the much-loved Oblivion for guitar, while Leo Brouwer's arrangement of La muerte del angel is full of vivacity and colour. Cinco piezas was Piazzolla's first work for classical guitar and embraces peasant dances and complex cross-rhythms alike; the Tango-Etudes, originally for flute, shows the guitar's range and versatility in Manuel Barrueco's idiomatic arrangement.
