This recording is based on the recovery of Octeto Buenos Aires scores, which were burned by Piazzolla himself, as well as the scores of the Octeto La Plata (read more about OLP), which were partially lost during a flood.
Here, the music of both octets has been placed next to one another for the first time. With these ensembles, the two composers explored “the edge”, or the boundaries of tango for the first time.
Musicians:
Camilo Cordoba (electric guitar)
Lysandre Donoso & Carmela Delgado (bandoneons)
Stephen Meyer & Daniel Hurtado Jimenéz (violins)
Oscar Quiñonez (viola) Guillaume Lagravière (cello)
