Description
Legendary tango bandoneonist Per Arne Glorvigen is here with his debut album as a composer. Glorvigen is joined by cellist Andreas Brantelid and accompanied by the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra for a double concerto that takes you directly to Buenos Aires.
"One discovery: the composer talent of bandononist Per Arne Glorvigen who includes Andreas Brantelid's cello in a super double concerto […] which, in a very personal manner, deeply felt and playful at the same time, catches the mood of the tango and the milonga." Diapason
"The title is a nod to Gershwin's "An American in Paris". With a little inflation and a change of direction, this becomes "Two Norwegians in Buenos Aires", simply because there are two soloists. The first movement starts with an introduction on the bandoneon, the soul and sound of the city. The sound is like the place itself: full of contrasts, ruthless, charming and beautiful." Glorvigen
For more than 25 years Per Arne Glorvigen has been respected as a virtuoso banoneonist, with several album releases and more than 100 concerts together with legendary Piazzolla interpreter Gideon Kremer. With a contagious mix of humour and seriousness, Glorvigen takes hold of the listener, immediately radiating a primeval force both in person and through his music. Andreas Brantelid is among the most sought-after Scandinavian cellists today. The Norwegian Chamber Orchestra sits well among the top chamber orchestras of the world, with a special knack for shining the spotlight on Norwegian composers and soloists.
