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

Experience Classical

Available for over a year

'Summer' mixes the baroque style of Vivaldi with tango, the dance form so associated with Buenos Aires. It is as if the two distinct styles are partners on the dancefloor, performing a common ritual seen all over the city. The music is sultry and ecstatic. It is the music of Piazzolla and his city. Composer: Astor Piazzolla Performer: Thibaut Garcia (Guitar) Recording date: 02 June 2018 Date of broadcast: 25 August 2019
