David Tanenbaum brings out the more intimate, graceful side of Piazzolla.
-
We Say...
Once a cult figure among fans of nuevo tango, Astor Piazzolla has grown ever more popular in classical music circles since his death in 1992. The Argentinean composer wrote works that blended influences of classical music, jazz and other urban Latin forms, and which could be performed on almost any solo instrument. David Tanenbaum, a champion of contemporary classical guitar music, brings out the more intimate, graceful side of Piazzolla’s work, as opposed to the fire of the dance floor. That’s not to say this collection lacks passion: “Acentuado” and “Milonga del Angel” have a smoldering quality that would do well in any dark, musty Buenos Aires bar. Tanenbaum’s arrangement of the “Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas (The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires) is also appealing, as he plays up the expressive dissonances and abrupt shifts in tempo and gives the music a sassy, sultry edge.

They Say...
A nice album of tango arrangements for guitar by David Tanenbaum. The pieces are all compositions of Astor Piazzolla, and it is something of a tribute album as such. The music is played rather well, as Tanenbaum is one of the premier non-rock guitarists around. Arrangements of the music come from former Piazzolla guitarist Sergio Assad, Leo Brouwer, Augustin Carlevaro, and Tanenbaum himself. For the pure feeling of a Piazzolla tango, one should most assuredly pick up an actual Piazzolla album for the pieces that are added in by the violins and bandoneon that are lacking here. Overall, a good bit of guitar work, but not the full tango that one would hope for.
