100 years Piazolla, this si time for a tribute!!!

[@gabrielmagni2826]

it's performances like this and Astor's work in general that make me wonder if Tango dancing has become too insulated. Adhering to the rigidity of past classics and the "Golden Age" of tango orchestras. to combine modern performance art, Piazzolla and traditional tango sequences may do much to expand the sphere of influence that tango already holds on the dedicated musicians, social dancers, students and performers. it is a wondrous thing. the mystery, depth, clarity and dark insinuations like slivers of hot liquid in our veins. Astor Piazzolla and Anne Meyers piece prove that Tango has room to expand and change.

Anne Akiko Meyers Plays Astor Piazzolla's 'Milonga del Angel" ¡¡ Preciosa Obra. Una maravillosa intérprete!!

[@user-mp3sk8ji6g]

マダガスカルへ　夜の神秘を放り投げる。眠らないサボテンの花、赤いまたは紫の、星からの脱力。砂漠の忘れられた青白いノート。カササギの教えてくれる、細い期待のかんらんせき。もし歩き出すのなら、わたしはペルシャの方へ、モザイクの法則で期待で、包まれている、河のほとりの安い宿で、おまえを抱く。羊のように白い望み、狂ったように咲くこの白い花。ひとときでいいのだ、青い道、水面の穏やかな、そして迎えてくれるだろう、ひどく静かに降る、今日の雨が。　わたしからひざまづぃて、この恋しい心を流し続ける、熱帯のフルートの夜。涙から澄みきった星空。　小さなハミルトン、ポケットにはもうなにも、入らない。澄んだひとみ、わたしだけを見つめて、マダガスカルへ。

a piece to hear at dying!

Nicely done. (BTW, I hope Anne never leaves that violin in a taxi...)

[@lovejazz42]

Superb. I wonder where I could get this arrangement. Anyone knows, this arrangement exactly what they play here.

[@claude7473]

It appears Akiko did her own here... it is for sure. I know this tango in many versions but I heard none like this.

[@gskolits]

So beautiful -- rich and deep, and full of surprises... I can't imagine it performed any better!! Has this been recorded by AAM?

[@mangelesgs]

Bellisimo¡¡¡¡¡

[@sofiagrimes4447]

Incredible!! Does anyone know what arrangement this is and where I could find it?

[@estabansantiagogarcialayus6014]

De Pie por favor👏👏👏👏

[@fiorellamiracola8538]

Magnificent interpretation! I wish I had the score for violin and piano but I can't find it. Can you advise me where I can buy or find this score?

[@SFKelvin]

The trick with Piazolla is to make your own arrangement ... I mean this seriously.

[@192khzstudio]

@@SFKelvin im trying to arrange this, wish me luck@.@

[@Argentinian]

Its not the same without a bandoneon.... that sadness only gives the bandoneon...

[@commontater8630]

The bandoneon is a fine instrument, to be sure. However it would be a shame if you were immune to the superb artistry you may witness here.

[@wolfvopo1502]

@@commontater8630 yes the Stradivari put this to a totally new level Astor may never have imagined!

dead right on my system bru!

They are right on.

[@guillermorochabrun3456]

She is concerned to show the capabilities of the instrument instead of the music. She is reading the notes but Piazzolla nusic is lost amidst high volume or excessive portamento. It is a pity for so a wonderful artist.

[@thelon1ous]

I totally see your point, but having an instrument with such capabilities would be a shame not to explore these colors, and share with the audience. I mean you can always listen to more "by the composer's book" interpretations, but very rarely something like that. I don't believe that Piazzolla himself would mind that much after this sounding experience on his piece. That said, you can understand why I disagree with your last sentence though. That is what makes her a wonderful artist.

[@tvu86]

Audience has no appreciation for Astor Piazzolla. Shameful. Clapping felt more like it was from a child's recital as opposed to a concert.
