If it’s really true that Piazzolla always felt drawn towards chamber music (especially in his last years - come to think of his cooperation with the "Quartetto di Mantova" and, first of all, the "Kronos Quartet"), we think he would really be very delighted about our way of transforming his music into chamber music.
In the Four Seasons (Otono Porteño, Invierno Porteño, Primavera Porteña und Verano Porteño) we enlarged José Bragato’s (cello player and friend/collaborator of Piazzolla’s) arrangement for string quartet and piano, which itself originated from the early 1970’s version of Piazzolla, by adding a double bass and exchanging the second violin for a flute.
In "Concierto para Quinteto" we rearranged Piazzollas version for his quintet for strings and piano.
Piazzolla composed the "Lumière"-suite for the film of the same title of Jeanne Moreau. In "La Mort" Francesco Manna puts his flute aside for a moment to give strength to the last poundings of his weary heart once again with the "bombo". Right after that he picks it up again for his wonderful solos in "L’amour" and "L’evasion".
"Libertango" is one of our potpourris that we like to embellish more and more.
We wish you a pleasant listening.
