The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires arr. Sergio Assad (Winter)

Experience Classical

Available for over a year

A celebration of both Buenos Aires and tango, the '4 Seasons of Beunos Aires' is an example of Nuevo tango, the fusion between Western classical traditions and the dance so popular in Argentina, developed by Piazzolla from the '50s. The music is full of improvisation and passion. As with each season, this is Argentina’s soul laid bare for all to see (or hear). Composer: Astor Piazzolla Performer: Thibaut Garcia (Guitar) Recording date: 02 June 2018 Date of broadcast: 25 August 2019
