el NUEVO TANGO: P.2

TANGO HOME | PAGE BACK | NEXT PAGE | TANGO RESOURCES

New Tango Quintet It is Piazzolla's work with the
'New Tango Quintet'
that will be best remembered.
In this picture of the 1978 formation:
Fernando Suárez Paz (violin)
Héctor Console (bass)
Oscar López Ruiz (electric guitar)
Astor Piazzolla
Pablo Ziegler (piano)

" The striking violence he could achieve in a pas de deux with violinist Fernando Suárez Paz, the beauty of his bandoneón playing off of Pablo Ziegler's piano, the fierce power of guitar strings and his reeds bouncing off a long, bowed bass line; these are the moments that made Astor Piazzolla a catalyst for new music, a creator rather than a player. To see this band play was a priceless wonder, a joy that too few took part in over the last few decades. Piazzollo and Paz

My one and only time in a concert with Piazzolla turned my head around, made me look at all art with a different eye, and music with a more readily challenged ear.
Astor Piazzolla died in 1992 after a long bout with complications from a stroke. It is a typical irony that it was in these last few years of his life that some of his best recordings, some of his darkest tangos, were finally re-issued in the U.S.
'Live In Vienna '(Messidor/Rounder),
'Love Tanguida '(Milan),
and even his 1989 chamber piece 'Five Tango Sensations' (Elektra)
are all the tribute one could pay to a lifetime of musical confrontation and artistic boldness. "
