(France) Here's a darkly dramatic Nuevo Tango from the pen of the great innovator Astor Piazzola. "Michelangelo" displays all that the master is known for - the angular harmonies and unexpected rhythmic twists that injected the dance form with 20th century classical sensibilities and took it to the concert hall. (In his lifetime Piazzola was threatened with bodily harm for what traditionalists perceived as distortions of tango). Besides being a consummate accordionist and bandoneon player, Galliano himself is also well known for his orchestrations of Piazzola's work, and here he is accompanied by a hand chosen ensemble who effortlessly negotiate the twists and turns of the arrangement.
