Peter Hammill: Piece 2: Astor Piazolla's Milonga del Ángel

"Piazzolla reclaimed [tango] in such a way that it could go out and suddenly be regarded as much more serious music [rather than music for rich bourgeois Europeans]
Peter Hammill, singer, guitarist, founder of Van der Graaf Generator talks about Astor Piazzolla's Milonga del Angel as one of the most three favorite pieces of music in his life.

fascinating. Brilliant to hear Peter Hammill enthusing about Piazolla. I love Van Der Graff and South American music. x

so good hear this explanation ,even when the style of music of A.P. is to me totally boring,The description of "that kind" of virtuosity at 0.57 is laughable,jaja ,think that one of the times that is absolutely incredible and for the service of the music ,not empty velocity,is in the duets and dialogues between McLaughlin and J.L. Ponty in Mahavishnu Orchestra

[@nectarinedreams7208]

So you find the description laughable but you're actaually kind of agreeing with it? Gotcha.
