“For this album I have chose some of Gardel's most popular tangos and arranged them for flute and piano. The timbre of these instruments is exceptionally well suited to evoking in sound the musical riches of an impoverished community of immegrants in Argentina's past, as well as to making the fascination and glamour of Gardel's tango music come alive again. Both parts are of medium difficulty, and the melodies repeatedly introduce new elements of tone production and rhythm, training young musicians in technique and ensemble playing. And, last but not least, these [pieces] are an ideal introduction to the prodound music of the tango, whose vitality and versatility are not only fun, but which also holds totally new means of expression in store” — Diego Collatti, October 2015
