Guy Bovet’s organ work ‘Tangos Ecclesiasticos’ was written in 2000. Six of its twelve sections are based around works by composers from the past including Domenico Scarlatti, Frescobaldi, Johann Kerll, J S Bach, Nicolas de Grigny, and Pablo Bruna. On the CD Revived in Tango these are paired with their early musical models. The artist is the Estonian Ines Maidre who performs the set on the Binvignant-Houdtappel organ at Hasselt Cathedral.

The idea of this recording is to pair French contemporary composer Guy Bovet’s Tangos Ecclesiasticos with their related earlier musical models in order to show the source of their inspiration and how much the tango transformation reveals or changes the original. The order of the tangos on the CD is different from the original due to the artistic goals of the programme. Of the 12 Tangos Ecclesiasticos, six are presented on this album together with six works from early French (Nicolas de Grigny), Italian (Girolamo Frescobaldi, Domenico Scarlatti), Spanish (Pablo Bruna), and German (Johann Kaspar Kerll, Johann Sebastian Bach) organ literature.

A graduate of the Estonian Academy of Music, Tallinn, Ines Maidre holds soloist diplomas for both piano and organ with the highest distinctions. As a harpsichord player she frequently performs together with her early music ensemble Musica Celines. Her collaboration with various soloists and ensembles has resulted in programmes combining organ with Gregorian chant, dance, percussion, violin, harp, trumpet, trombone and synthesizer.
