- Summary:
- A concert in two parts, two works and two solo instruments - the bandoneon and the accordion - in front of a symphonic ensemble. The repertoire: Aconcagua, concerto for bandoneon and orchestra by Astor Piazzolla; Madreperla, concerto for accordion and orchestra by Richard Galliano. In the context of concerts organized to mark the fifty years of Richard Galliano's career, it would have been impossible for him not perform a work by the person who he considers to be his “spiritual father”: Astor Piazzolla. It is true that the great Argentinian bandoneonist had recommended him, in 1983, to the director Jorge Lavelli to interpret his new composition for Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream in the theater before becoming his friend and mentor. Both have Italian origins and a fondness for melody and bridges between musical genres. Astor Piazzolla renewed the grammar of tango in the light of classical music and jazz, a lesson that the Frenchman will retain in his own compositions and in his visceral way of interpreting the tango. The Aconcagua concerto is irrigated with reminiscences of other Piazzolla compositions which have crept into our neurons. It is obvious that Piazzolla's particular world, with its nostalgia and emotion, its heady melodies, its venomous romanticism and the dynamic bowing of the violin and double bass, always takes us in its grip.
