All the arrangements on this album are of instrumental works that Astor Piazzolla composed for his Quinteto Nuevo Tango. Most prominent is the Vivaldi-inspired Las cuatro estaciones porteñas reimagined in concerto style for solo violin and string orchestra by Leonid Desyatnikov. The seven other companion pieces are heard here in world premiere recordings of arrangements by conductor Ken Selden, who leads the Martingale Ensemble. Violinist Tomás Cotik’s previous releases include Tango Nuevo (8.573166) and Legacy (8.573789).

“…Whether in the energetic Chin Chin, the nostalgically lyrical Soledad, the swinging, dancing Zita, or the varied moods of Las cuatro estaciones porteñas, Cotik captures the entire spectrum of Piazzolla’s music…” *****
