Recorded live in July 1992, this concert captures the musical vision of Argentine pianist and composer Santos Chillemi, who settled in Paris and became a leading figure in the modernization of tango. With his brilliant and inventive piano playing, he explores new musical horizons. He is joined here by an outstanding rhythm section, the fiery bandoneon of Juan José Mosalini, and the luminous voice of Cuban singer Alma Rosa. This exceptional meeting of remarkable artists is further enhanced by the prestigious acoustics of the Leipzig Opera House. A historic recording that reveals the full richness of Chillemi’s tango-jazz and its impact on Europe’s greatest concert stages.
