With new album ‘Tango’, accordionist Pascal Contet steps off the beaten track to explore the repertoire of those who inspired the great Piazzolla.
He pays homage to the finest tango dances with a set of contemporary arrangements, rounding things off with two original works, ‘Stras Medianoche’ and ‘Valentino Suite’.
In partnership with Paul Meyer, Contet explores how the tango has been reinvented over time – music which has been described as a “sad thought that is danced.”
