FRIDAY MUSIC: Tango - Astor Piazzolla, by JD

Yes, it is time for tango once more and a suitable diversion from the madness of the world’s political lunatics/’leaders’:

We have had one or two tango posts previously as well as more than a few about other music and dance. This post is a variation on a theme: Astor Piazzolla is a well known name in the world of tango both as a composer and performer but the following videos feature his music in an orchestral setting. Sacrilege you may think and a long way from its roots but it works!

Gidon Kremer - Oblivion (Astor Piazzolla)

A. Piazzolla. Libertango

Astor Piazzolla “La Muerte Del Angel” Milano Chamber Orchestra

Astor Piazzolla - Oblivion

Piazzolla - Fuga y Misterio
