Amarcord D'Un Tango

Marco Albonetti writes: ‘”Amarcord” signifies memory, the nostalgic re-enactment of the past. Here, it evokes the idea of joining two instruments, the saxophone and the bandoneon, both of which were invented in the middle of the nineteenth century. The album opens with his Triunfal, the piece that created awareness and spurred the metamorphosis of Piazzolla’s “nuevo tango”. It represents the ideal point of embarkation.’ (Chandos)
