Piazzolla on Baroque period instruments? I was somewhat sceptical before slipping the CD into the player, but my doubts were quickly swept away by these swaggering, gritty accounts of the tanguero’s Four Seasons in Buenos Aires. Indeed, the strings’ bite and slightly edgy tone sounds stylistically apposite…What’s most remarkable, perhaps, is how fresh and spontaneous everything sounds: these may be studio recordings but they convey the frisson of a live performance.
