Piazzolla: Arrangements for Guitar

Leone, Enea

96248

Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992), Argentina’s most famous composer, was the grandson of Italian immigrants, and the melancholy for an abandoned and lost country lends a sweetly poignant note to his music. He was unique in the way he was able to weave the “sweet noises of life” into pure melody and harmony in his works, showing a deep familiarity with every secret of the Tango, Argentina’s iconic dance.

In this new recording Enea Leone traces the evolutionary stages of the Buenos Aires composer’s music with the guitar. The CD features Piazzolla’s most famous and representative pieces: Milonga Del Angel, Muerte del Angel, Adios Nonino, Escualo up to the most famous Oblivion and Libertango.

All the arrangements, with the exception of Revirado and Yo Soy Maria arranged by composer Fabrizio Volpi, were created especially for this CD by Enea Leone.

Enea Leone plays on a Rinaldo Vacca spruce guitar with D’Addario Carbon Normal Tension strings.

Enea Leone successfully recorded for Brilliant Classics works by Fernando Sor,Castelnuovo-Tedesco and guitar arrangements by Ennio Morricone.
