The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires
After Antonio Vivaldi's masterpiece, they undoubtedly rank among the most famous "Four Seasons": the cuatro estaciones porteñas , written in the mid-1960s by the great tango innovator Astor Piazzolla. In these four sensual mood pieces, inspired by Buenos Aires, the birthplace of tango, Piazzolla masterfully captures melancholy and nostalgia as well as the vibrant street life, the austere elegance, and that feverish, nocturnal atmosphere of the port city. For his arrangement of the tango suite for violin and string orchestra, Leonid Desyatnikov deliberately allowed Vivaldi's influence to shine through, creating a sophisticated echo of the Baroque classic.
