Igor, I am talking solely of compositions - there are very fine new orchestras today.
Even in Belgrade, see www.beltango.com Let alone Fernandez Fiero . . . Or Color Tango, or many others. Yes, I like some of Gill's compositions. Then, you can listen to this http://www.sinrumbo-tango.com/media/mp3/CiudadAusente.mp3 Still, most of the new compositions are absolutely fine (and some are masterpieces). BUT, for LISTENING. There is practically nothing that you can dance to, with no preparation, in a milonga. Because 1 or 2, or 10, or even 20 compositions (where are they?) for ten years is practically nothing. Today composers miss one important thing - that they must compose for the dancers, not for listeners alone. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Igor Polk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 29, 2007 11:17 AM Subject: Re: [Tango-L] Tango Music > You can expect exactly as many new great tangos, > > as many new Bachs, Mozarts, and Beethovens was born on Earth after them. > > Igor Polk > PS > I am kidding. > I was amazed by the "Extasis" tango orchestra from Denver during the last > tango festival ( I am sure you did not looked at my webpage about it, > Krasimir, thanks for attention.. ) > > They are amazing musicians - for the first time I have heard such deep > professional performance in a really true classical tango style and dance > to > it.
