Pre-Order: Andres Gabetta – From Venice To Buenos Aires [CD]

Description

Andres Gabetta (violin & direction), Veronica Cangemi, Mario Stefano Pietrodarchi (bandoneon and accordion), and the Gabetta Consort present From Venice to Buenos Aires, a remarkable journey from 18th-century Venice to the streets of Buenos Aires. Anchored by Vivaldi’s dazzling concertos and the fiery passion of Astor Piazzolla’s Maria de Buenos Aires, the album traces Italian music across centuries and continents. Luca Salvadori’s inventive compositions, including the commissioned Overture: Tango-Baroque and Mater Maria, weave Baroque structures with Nuevo Tango rhythms, creating a breathtaking dialogue between old and new.The album is a tribute to women, with Maria as a common thread. From the violin concerto dedicated to Anna Maria, to Piazzolla’s arias written for female voices, to the evocative works by Salvadori, the album celebrates feminine presence, strength, and artistry across time and styles.The recording also features operatic gems by Bononcini and Vinci, alongside Piazzolla’s expressive arias, from the defiant “Yo soy Maria” to a tender Ave Maria arranged for violin, bandoneon, and soprano. From Venice to Buenos Aires is a vibrant, immersive exploration of music’s power to tell stories across worlds – where sacred and secular, past and present meet in melodies both timeless and exhilarating.
