ArgEnTango started
as a project of renowned Romanian cellist Razvan Suma, Argentine singer Analia
Selis and former Narcotango pianist
Mariano Castro. Later on, bandoneonist Omar Massa from Argentina and classical violinist
Rafael Butaru from Romania joined the project to play authentic tango, particularly
from composer Astor Piazzolla.
This album was recorded live at the Radio Romanian Radio Concert Hall. Of course, we all know most of the Piazzolla songs quite well (i.e., Milonga del Angel, Milonga de la anunciacion, Vuelvo al sur, Balada para un loca), and one may ask why a further recording is needed. The best reason is that the exquisite musicians play the Piazzolla compositions (plus one by Francisco de Caro) extremely sensitive and dynamically. Even the ‘evergreens’ unfold new facets and attract and again. At his time Astor Piazzolla had problems with the tango dancers, and they will surely have their problems with several of his compositions for concert hall today, too. Nevertheless, those who like music which speaks directly to the heart and soul are exactly right here.
Mariano Castro has written perfect arrangements for this wonderful ensemble. His variable piano play, Omar Massa´s emotional bandoneon, Rafael Butaru´s elegant violin, Razvan Suma´s great tone, and Analia Selis´ beautiful interpretations are what makes the difference come.
