Description
In Buenos Aires Tango is described as the forbidden dance and in this performance the violin and string orchestra capture not only the sound but also the essence of Tango creating an evocative dance between the instruments. Clarissa's Tango starts
with a short, cadenza-like introduction on the solo violin, the tango is cast in rondo form, with the central C section moving from the home key of D minor to D major. It's an ebullient duet that makes virtuoso demands on the solo violin, from extreme high tessitura passages and multi-stops to fast passage work as the violin elaborates on the main tango melody. Tango is very visual and we wanted to capture this as a part of our release. Alongside the audio recording we also filmed a companion video in Berlin.
