Synopsis

Album Description
With his ninth album, "Piazzolla Forever" (Dreyfus Jazz) Galliano pays homage to one of his earliest inspirations, the man he often refers to as his "spiritual father." Rearranging 10 compositions by Piazzolla for accordion or bandoneon, piano and string quintet, he and the Richard Galliano Septet transform each tune into a personal statement of stirring beauty. Recorded on the sold-out world tour of the same name, "Piazzolla Forever" includes such classic Piazzolla compositions as "Le Quartre Saisons De Buenos Aires", "Libertango" and "Milonga Del Angel", but, with the guitar of Piazzolla?s original recordings replaced by violin, viola and cello, the timbre and free-flowing improvisation reflect Galliano's unique musical vision. Richard Galliano - accordion/bandoneon Jean Marc Phillips-Varjabédian - solo violin Lyonel Schmit - second violin Jean Marc Apap - viola Raphaël Pidoux - cello Stéphane Logerot - double bass Hervé Sellin - piano

This is what music is all about
A. CAMPBELL | Montreal | 12/27/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Got this for christmas from some hoity toity friends. Must admit I wasnt too impressed by the cover. Almost put it in the recycle bin for next year. But I gave it a try. Initially I used it for low background music just to give it a chance. Since then the volume has risen to normal istening levels and I must say this is a real unique musical experience. Difficult to describe the stlye, though I would say it has a very French 40's to 50's stlye. Acordians,violins,violas and similar. The recording is done live but its not obvious. For music I give it 88% and recording 92%. This is an treasure waiting to be unearthed for those brave enough to splash the cash."
