Astor Piazzolla - Libertango

[@ronmendolamusic7234]

A conductor does all his or her best and most critical work in rehearsal. This particular performance demonstrates that the shape of each phrase has been thoroughly crafted. Libertango is a wonderfully cogent but short sequence of a chromatic progression of chords over a ground bass, with only a short bridge to relieve its repetition. Played without inflection and variation, in spite of its inventive and well crafted form, it can even become boring and can be "thrown away" or "tossed off" by orchestras disinterested in what they perceive as "pop". Though on camera it may appear that the maestro is "doing very little" (its not supposed to be about the conductor anyway!), the dynamics and stylistic variation from aggressive to soaring, powerful to delicate, especially for a string ensemble of this size and at this tempo, are truly wonderful. Listen to other orchestra's performances, many of which lack this coloration and subtle interpretation; that says it all about maestro Gharabekian's conducting.

You speak the truth. We only look to a conductor when we need help they help us when we lost that which we already had

[@MexSeiko]

I used to valet for the Puerto Rico Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Arturo Somoano in the early 1970s. I watched every concert for a full year. Don Arturo never used a baton, only his hands. He had such beautiful form. As part of his presentation, he pretended to converse with the First Violinist. Then on another piece, he would put his hands down and allow the orchestra to play through a few bars without motioning with his hands. I remember saying in my mind, “Look Ma! No hands!” One time he was replaced by the first fiddler on his absence because of a gout flareup. The new conductor was very enthusiastic and used the rod from the violin bow as his baton. This concert was in a park. In one of the pieces, the conductor was too aggressive and perhaps his hand became sweaty and the baton left his hands and flew over the audience and made this metallic sound when it fell on the cement. It was rather dramatic and embarrassing to the poor conductor.

[@CommodoreBlubbers]

Well written! Bravo!

[@haeseonchung4833]

So sad that he passed away! When I watched this for the first time during my critical hospitalization, I was so blown away by his STYLISH and CREATIVE conducting. It was perfectly in sync with the music! I watched this over and over during my hospitalization and gave me such comfort and strength. The most artistic conductor ever!!! I simply respect and love him so much!!

[@MexSeiko]

He did conduct with a unique style. I noticed he focused more on the dynamics in the music. As a kid I worked as a ballet for the Puerto Rico Philharmonic Orchestra. I was about 14 years old. My job was to setup the orchestra music stands and transport the bass drum and the 2 string basses. The director, Don Arturo Somoano, never used a baton. I enjoyed the grace and artistic use of his hands to direct the tempo and the dynamics of the pieces. It was a great experience I enjoy for little over a year.

[@souffrantdepine3762]

Not to be a spoil-sport, but for credit's sake this isn't Astor conducting, this is Aram Gharabekian.

[@haehong5791]

Very unique!😮

[@saintmirrenmalky]

I am Scottish, and I love the music of Astor Piazzola. Al gran pueblo Argentino salud.

Светлой памяти маэстро Арам Карабекян очень тонко прочувствовал эмоциональную канву этого произведения! Поведение самого дирижёра за пультом, его элегантность, лиричность, динамичность - тоже своего рода произведение искусства Браво, Маэстро, браво!!! Очень и очень жаль, что сегодня Вас нет уже с нами!!!

[@BorusDjonson]

[@erazhshtaser]

[@Veritas-33]

RIP Aram Gharabekian he passed in '14. Beautiful Argentinean music by a genius compoer Piazzolla with Armenian tempo and arrangement. Gharabekian has managed to make this piece native to Armenian ear and emphasise the original idea at the same time.

[@КаринаЕременко-ъ1г]

[@lusinehharutyunyan]

Many years ago I heard Libertango for the first time by Maestro Gharabekian's interpretation. It was magical, and really till now it's the best version. Bravo!!!

Bellisima interpretación de una de mis preferidas obras de Astor Piazzolla. En la misma introducción, el maestro modera el ímpetu. Lo sigue haciendo luego. Es fiel al espíritu pudoroso porteño.

La mejor versión de Libertango extraordinario Director Fabulosa Orquesta 👏👏👏👏

[@Hagopn1]

Աստուած հոգին լուսավորէ։ This was a warrior, not just a musician, who thrust a sword into our culture's indifference. He was a shock, a positive one, to the great slumber we went through since the breakup of our cultural integrity. Honestly, I still have tears when conscious of the immensity of this loss.

[@gevik.Alahverdi]

As an armenian ,i 'm proud of this fabulous performance.... one of the best orchestral version of this masterpiece.RIP maestro

In my view, the best tempo in order to create an elegant, insinuating and passional dance. I've listened to many performances and this would probably exceed Astor's expectation. An excellent interpretation!!!

[@sarahernandezespinoza6249]

Esta versión de Piazzola te hace vibrar el sentimiento del tango gracias .

[@prettylady111]

Best version I have heard on you tube. Love the dynamics and oneness . Liebertango is a true masterpiece and this orchestra brought it to it's finest

[@henningpetersen9388]

the conductors work is not just keeping tempo. it's the interpretation. he makes them all play together for one sound. so if he makes a "grimace" as you say, he is showing the musicians: "you're doing it the best way!" i like this interpretation because of the effects, it's so strong and play by heart. this is what the conductor does ;)
