Description
The album 'Tango!' is a collection of pieces by the great Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla, performed by Isabelle van Keulen Ensemble, a group put together by the critically acclaimed Dutch violinist. This CD is being released to replace the SACD version, which has now been deleted. The DVD and Blu-Ray versions are still available.
The Isabelle van Keulen Ensemble was formed in January 2011 by the celebrated violinist and violist especially for a series of concerts in Haarlem's Concertgebouw entitled "Carte Blanche" which showcased the music of Ástor Piazzolla. After the enormous success of their first concert many further invitations followed, and the group has since performed at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam as well as international music festivals like Schleswig Holstein Musikfestival, Rheingau Musikfestival and Delft Chamber Music Festival.
Since her breakthrough in 1984 winning the Eurovision Young Musician of the Year, celebrated Dutch violinist Isabelle van Keulen can now look back on many years of musical diversity. She not only plays the violin and viola with the same energy, but has also has been part of a 20 year collaboration with the Dutch pianist Ronald Brautigam, performed with and directed the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, founded the Delft Chamber music festival, and been a regular soloist with orchestras such as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Berlin Philharmonic.
