- Summary:
- The meteoric rise of Argentinean tenor Marcelo Alvarez caught the world of classical music by surprise. Just a few years ago, Alvarez was an accountant, but then he won a contest and everything changed. This spring Alvarez returned to his native Argentina to take on a most meaningful artistic challenge -- performing and recording the songs of Carlos Gardel, the legendary Tango crooner. Here Marcelo Alvarez chats with colleagues and friends and visits Gardel's old haunts in Buenos Aires, but most importantly he sings the songs that have made tango one of the 20th century's most popular music forms.
