PIAZZOLLA: Symphonic Works, Vol. 2

Like the first volume devoted to the symphonic music of Piazzolla, this second features several largely unfamiliar works, including three first recordings, and all four works confirm his innovative, colourful and distinctive style, drawing on infectious dance rhythms and traditional classical techniques. Review for previous release: 'Gabriel Castagna has already proved himself something of a Piazzolla specialist...all the performances sound affectionate and thoroughly idiomatic, and overall it's an undeniably enjoyable disc...' - BBC Music Magazine on CHAN10049
