guitarrero Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I stumbled upon a 2CD set of Pablo Casals playing Bach's entire cello suites 1 through 6. It was recorded in 1929 and is was simply awesome... Astor Piazzolla and Carlos Gardel were the "maestros" of the Tango music genre. Piazzolla's "Libertango" and Gardel's "Por Una Cabeza" arranged for a string quartet is truly moving. Even if you don't know how to dance the tango you will be tempted to try a step or two... Por Una Cabeza was made popular by the movie "True Lies" and "Scent of a Woman"... Have any of you heard of David Oistrakh, the famous Soviet violinist???? re; piazzolla and gardel are two sides of a coin. you must see piazzolla's tango as a re-invention, thus the nuevo tango, and it's a break from the past or what is referred to as the "hollywood tango". and as per piazzola's equation, sex=whorehouse=tango. by the way, i recently watched a bbc docu on piazzolla, and the references to the role of the musician in society were very provocative, to say the least.

manny a. quito Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Just watched Hilary and Jackie on DVD, the heartbreaking story of sisters Hilary and Jacqueline du Pré, both brilliant child musical prodigies, the first a flautist, and the second a cellist, starring Emily Watson and Rachel Griffiths, who got Oscar nods for their performances here back in 1999. Jacqueline became the preeminent cello virtuoso of her generation but was tragically diagnosed with MS at the age of 28 and finally succumbed at the age of 42. She was married to the equally famous pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim. The Stradivari cello she once played on is now the one which Yo Yo Ma performs with. This is a wonderful companion to the Nupen tribute DVD. Quote Link to comment
manny a. quito Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 The BBC documentary on Piazzolla is available on DVD. His compositions have been embraced by outstanding jazz musicians like Gary Burton, Gerry Mulligan, Al Di Meola, Michel Camilo & Tomatito, Richard Galliano and Septeto Mayor. Among classical musicians his pieces have been interpreted by Yo-Yo Ma, Baltazar Benitez, Gidon Kremer & Vadim Sakarov, Daniel Binelli, Jairo & Lito Cruz. Jose Luis Borges, the legendary Argentine writer, had contributed lyrics for some of his music. I have also heard the pop girl-group Bond's version of Libertango. If you like Piazzolla, then give a listen to Gotan Project, whose music is a favorite among world-class gymnasts for their floor exercises. One of their tracks, "Santa Maria", was prominently featured in the Richard Gere-Jennifer Lopez movie "Shall We Dance", as well as in the Antonio Banderas starrer "Take The Lead." You may also have heard their music on some current popular television series. Quote Link to comment
gentleman Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Piazolla is really great! His music is sad, joyful, hopefully ad nostalgic all at the same time....... it is a marvel! Quote Link to comment
