Description

Astor Piazzolla took the traditional Argentine form of the Tango and fused it with elements of both jazz and classical music; this new style becoming known as Nuevo Tango. Oblivion was recorded in 1982 for the Italian film Henry IVdirected by Marco Bellocchio and has been recorded for all manner of instruments and ensembles. t’s haunting melody and atmospheric, melancholic mood akes it oneof Piazzolla’s most popular and enduring tangos.

“This is joyous stuff; an intelligent, coherent crossover disc, performed with phenomenal punch. Brilliantly recorded too – what’s the point of assembling a collective of virtuoso brass players if they can’t make your ears bleed ?”
