Good evening Presentation of the new CD TANGO TANGO by Tango Motnreal. Details & pictures at this address on the web:
http://tango.montreal.qc.ca/atantana.htm In the last few years, many Tango Productions have been presented to the general public and the Tango afionados of Montreal. "Tango Pasion" of 1997 comes particularly to mind because of its imaginative presentation and because of Sexteto Mayor WHICH featured four bandoneonists. And between 1997 and 1999, there were Forever Tango and Tango Vivo who added presentations in Montreal to their tour of North American cities. In 1994 and 1995, Graffiti Tango of Montreal produced three Shows at the Théatre d'aujourd'hui: Deviation, Evolution and " Le Voyeur" ( The peeping Tom ). These three Shows presenteD new choregraphies with an original concept but did not use live musicians. But we had to wait until the Spring of 2000 before a Superproduction under the auspices of Paul Montpetit ( Tango Bohemio of Montreal) and the artistic direction of Woulter Brave from Amsterdam would bring together on the same Stage dancers and musicians of international caliber with local Artists to constitute the makings of TANGO TANGO. While the dancing of TANGO TANGO was very good, the music was perharps the strongest feature of this Show. We present TO you on this CD the same quality of audition that was experienced by the crowd who applauded the Artists of Tango Tango at the Center Pierre Peladeau on the night of the 23 rd and 24 th of April 2000. The Soundtrack of this CD was taken from the console of the Show by Marcelo Delambre who Was Sound Engineer OF TANGO TANGO. Among Marcelo`s past realizations was Romulo Larrea' s Ensemble's first tango album called PREPARENSE. On this album you will listen to the same tangos that were interpretated by the Star dancers of Tango Tango. They are Classics from the old & the new repertory, along with some original compositions by Victor SImon and Nestor Vas Chaves. LES DANSEURS D`APRES-MIDI ( Afternoon Dancers) was composed by Victor Simon; PRIMA TANGO was composed by Victor Simon & Carmen Piculeata and SOLITUDE is an excerpt of a suite that was composed in Montreal by the bandoneonist Nestor Vas Chaves of Uruquay. You will appreciate the delicate phrasing and the strength of the rhythm provided by the bandoneon played by Nestor Vas Chaves. The piano sounds great! The piano is a grand concert STEINWAY that brings nobility and richness of sound. The introduction of a classic guitar to the orchestral alignment is not frequent ( besides the famous Quinteto Real ) but in this orchestra the guitar adds rythm accents that are indeed very interesting and which has some resemblance to the "umpa-umpa" of Ubaldo De Lio when he plays with Horacio Salgan. I was also impressed by the technique of the Doublebass player Christophe Papadimitriou to the point of giving him the distinction of most impressiVE Doublebass player of year 2000! Please check our review of the year 2000 http://tango.montreal.qc.ca/revue00.htm ( In French ). These are some of the elements that will, I hope, please you on this album. I wish you a pleasant listening! Our price for this CD is $ 20 cdn + shipping. The CD is sent by mail. http://tango.montreal.qc.ca/atantana.htm Daniel Saindon [email protected] ****************************** http://tango.montreal.qc.ca is a web site of information on Tango music and artists.
