When,
in the seventies, I happened to discover some notes and discs
of your tangos, I began to adore you and your music. It was
an experience of overwhelming splendour, of powerful, emotional
colours as well as of penetrating recitatives in oeuvres full
of glowing rhythm nobody could ignore. At once I included
some of your tangos in my soloist program. You achieved things
in music that - at their time - J. Strauß achieved with
waltzes and polkas, and F.Chopin with polonaises, waltzes
and mazurkas. You raised the tango from the ballroom to the
concert stage! And now they are not only danced but also listened
to. They are no longer for legs only but also for ears.
In the summer of 1992, when I learned about your death at
a festival in Finland, I - your admirer for long years - suddenly
remembered: "He, as the only one, played his own compositions!
However, this excellent music deserves to be played more often,
and that in the biggest concert halls and by the best musicians!"
And in September 1993 the first concert of my quintet “Piazzolla-Studio”
took place in the little hall of the Moscow Conservatory:
“Argentinean Tangos by Astor Piazolla”.
The world of your tangos is full of vivacity and passion;
You entrusted the most secret sides of the human soul to the
Bandoneon. Your easily remembered melodies which are based
on smooth and powerful Latin-American rhythms, carry the listeners
off to the secrets of man's nature: from pure love to passion
that consumes and despises everything. In your oeuvres we
also find the topic of solitude and grief: Soledad, Oblivion,
Milonga del Angel, Muerte del Angel, Adios Nonino. The topic
of farewell has also been continued by some of your admirers
- composers of the oeuvre "Adios, Astor!" - a rather
naive title.
Well, I do not think that you have left us. You just passed
on to another dimension, however, you stayed with us through
your unique creations. With this CD containing your wonderful
tangos I tell you "Buenos Dias, Astor!" |
