ANDRES GABETTA ~ FROM VENICE TO BUENOS AIRES PENTATONE 8717306265034 (Barcode: 8717306265034) ~ ARGENTINA ~ Classical Music Recorded: 2024 Released: 2026 This is an album by Argentinean Baroque violinist Andres GabettaFind albums by this artist and his Gabetta ConsortFind albums by this artist ensemble, with Italian bandoneonist / accordionist Mario Stefano PietrodarchiFind albums by this artist and Argentinean soprano Veronica CangemiFind albums by this artist. As the title suggests, they perform a collection of Classical pieces composed by Italian Baroque composers Antonio VivaldiFind albums by this artist, Giovani BononciniFind albums by this artist and Leonardo VinciFind albums by this artist, and contemporary Argentinean composer Astor PiazzollaFind albums by this artist and Italian composer Luca SalvadoriFind albums by this artist, both associated with the Argentinean Tango. The album presents nine compositions, a total of fourteen tracks. The selection of the music suggests the existence of a “missing link” between the Italian Baroque music and the Argentinean Tango, based on the fact that over sixty percent of the inhabitants of Argentina are of Italian ancestry, including of course Cultural heritage. This proposition certainly seems to be holding water, while listening to this beautiful music, and regardless if the listener is able to find the direct link between these seemingly remote musical spheres, the album offers first class performances and unusual repertoire, which deserves to be heard. Overall, this is another splendid project by the fabulous Dutch PentatoneFind albums on this label label, that certainly is able to think out of the box, when taking the decisions about its catalogue, which can only be congratulated.
