I don't give Piazzolla the thumbs down although I do recall getting a bit fed up when CD Review seemed to be obsessed with him a few years ago. Recently, our choir has been singing some arrangements of La Muerte del Angel and Libertango. Great fun!Comment

A few months back a local chamber orchestra treated us to Piazzolla's Bandoneon Concerto, a little gem.
The young man who played it used an Accordian which sounded pretty authentic to me. It got a very enthusiastic reception. Quite right too.Comment

I have had my misgivings about Piazzolla over the years but I have come to like some of his music and appreciate his individual voice. A couple of recent experiences have contributed here. We went to Buenos Aires last year and experienced the Tango music in situ and a few weeks ago we saw the Bandoneon Concerto in a virtuoso performance with Pablo Mainetti at the Barbican a few weeks ago in a very enjoyable Spanish/Latin-American programme under Josep Pons and the BBC Symphony.Comment
