 | Classica ArgentinaMusic of Astor Piazzólla
Anette Maiburg (flute), Joaquin Clerch (guitar), Francisca Beaumont (alto) & Guido Schiefen (cello) Argentina is tango and tango is Piazolla. Maiberg and Clerch had a surprise success with Classica Cubana (MDG9101536) which earned them an Echo Klassic prize. Now they turn their attention to Argentina. Together with the alto Francisca Beaumont and Guido Scheifen playing cello, they display Piazolla’s works in a new light. |

 | South American Getaway
Juliane Banse (Soprano) The 12 Cellos of the Berlin Philharmonic Who knew that the solid, staid old Berlin Philharmonic had such a groovy group of swingers in its cello section? One of them plays the maracas during the rests in his part, others slap their instruments with abandon, and some of them even shout at appropriate moments: if this makes them sound like trainspotters letting their hair down, it's not meant to. This recording of South American and South American-inspired music is full of joy from beginning to end, and played with the kind of accuracy other ensembles only dream of. The mood ranges from sultry and sweaty (Kaiser-Lindemann's Brazilian Variations) through coolly intellectual (the Fugue from Bachianas Brasileiras No. 1) to pure sunshine (Burt Bacharach's "South American Getaway"). The arrangements are models of their kind, and the cellists respond to their challenges with bravura and passion--at times creating sounds remarkably like a bandonéon, at others producing perfect harmonics in octaves or just singing out with pure joy. Irresistibly seductive. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

 | Tangos & Dances
RTE Concert Orchestra, Fionnuala Hunt (violin and director) “The vertical expression of a horizontal desire,” is how Angela Rippon has described the Tango, and while a trifle risqué it neatly encapsulates the essence of the music with its sensuous rhythms and beguiling beat. The Tango captured the imagination of one of Ireland’s finest fiddlers, Fionnuala Hunt, and this disc – the culmination of years of her own research – tracks the art form from its origins in the bordellos and back streets of Buenos Aires to the concert platforms of the world. Tangos & Dances charts the history of Tango through the 1900s up to the present day, from its early dance form to the more jazz-inspired music of contemporary times. One of Ireland’s most distinguished musicians with an impressive international itinerary to her credit, Fionnuala Hunt leads the RTE National Orchestra in her own lush arrangements of a dozen exotic dances. Complementing the CD is a bonus DVD of Fionnuala in conversation with genial BBC personality Sean Rafferty, discussing her own passion for the dance and the development of this project.

María Rey-Joly (soprano), Horacio Ferrer (reciter), José A. Vélez (violin), Marcos A. López (soprano & alto saxophones), Esteban Ocaña (piano), Vicente Coves (guitar) & Manuel F. Martín (double bass) Versus Ensemble “Maria de Buenos Aires is…. a powerful illusion given substance and pathos by the approachable surrealism of the opera’s librettist, Horacio Ferrer. Piazzolla’s music harbours a Weill-like sense of foreboding; minor-key heartache invades almost everywhere, even when the dancing starts, the air thickens and the drink starts to flow” Gramophone Magazine | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
