Tango is like waltz: popular dance rhythms were transformed into works of art for concert stages with the help of brilliant composers. And what Johann Strauss achieved on the one hand can undoubtedly be said for Astor Piazzolla on the other: he helped tango - which also exists in the triple-time version known as "Vals" - to gain worldwide recognition.

This is also shown by the other composers represented in this concert, whose works were compiled by the Buenos Aires-born Italian conductor Pablo Boggiano - who is known to be an expert in these sounds. Pasión, passion: if it was ever to be found in music, then it is in tango...
