[spoiler="Рецензия на английском"]
The Unknown Piazzolla features the pre-and post-Tango movement work of Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992), the man who created the “New Tango” movement in 1954 with the founding of his octet. Born 300 miles south of Buenos Aires, Astor and his family settled in NYC at Saint Mark’s Place when the boy was only four. There he began to play the accordion-like bandoneon and study piano with a disciple of Rachmaninov who lived in the same tenement as his family (very close to where, in 1972, I worked serving egg creams at 2 AM to the drugged-out Electric Circus crowd). Astor returned to Argentina in 1938, where he became a bandoneonist and arranger with an orchestra. Most interested in developing as a classical composer, he followed up on a suggestion from pianist Arthur Rubinstein and, in 1942, began studying with renowned Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera.
Most of the music on The Unknown Piazzolla dates from the composer’s 1943 - 1953, pre-Tango period. Some of it evidences Argentinian influence; other compositions reflect a more European classical language. These works supply ample evidence of the composer’s skill. They may not be as infectiously likable or accessible as his later music, but they hold many rewards for those who will take the time to listen.
In 1953, Piazzolla received a French government scholarship to study in Paris with the famed Nadia Boulanger. If you have never heard of this woman, let me assure you that her name will pop up in the biography of countless fabled composers and musicians who worked with her over the years. She was clearly a marvelous teacher, and someone whom people listened to. In this case, Astor listened when Nadia told him that he needed to write Tango. That he did, like crazy. Three of the compositions on this recording, composed 1965 - 1979, evidence the “New Tango” results of her direction. (In a recent San Francisco Symphony concert, composer/conductor John Adams stated that Piazzolla wrote as many Tangos as Schubert wrote songs. If this is correct, Piazzolla wrote well over 650 Tangos.)
I do have some bones to pick over Chesky’s production values for this recording. While the piano and instruments are recorded quite well, the choice of a Yamaha piano makes for a clear albeit clangy sound which I find less than ingratiating. While pianist Alison Brewster Franzetti is an excellent musician, I cannot say the same for violinist Hector Falcon who joins her on two compositions. The brochure features a photo of note-writer and co-producer Carlos Franzetti, but lamentably does not bother to explain his relationship with Piazzolla and why he merits a photo. Most frustrating of all, the brochure numbers the compositions 1 - 10, while the CD itself, which assigns a different track to each movement of a multi-movement piece, contains 20 tracks. Only by marking up my liner notes with the correct numbering was I able to figure out what I was listening to.
Quibbles aside, this disc represents a valuable addition to the recorded Piazzolla legacy. It is self-recommending to those who love the composer’s work and wish to explore a lesser-heard side of his genius.
