PIAZZOLLA, A.: Arrangements for Accordion and Piano (Time of Life) (Draugsvoll, Rasmussen)

Astor Piazzolla’s name is synonymous with Nuevo Tango, an experimental compound of traditional and contemporary influences, and this recording offers a bouquet of his finest music in wholly original arrangements for classical accordion and piano. This selection includes the unforgettable Milonga del ángel as well as the evocative suite The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires. The Double Concerto ‘Hommage à Liège’ is one of Piazzolla’s most classically orientated works, by turns playful, catchy and lyric, while the examples drawn from his film music are among his most enduring.
