Werk: Aconcagua, Concerto for Bandoneon

Kalmar and Sidorova pair up for a powerful performance of Piazzolla's Aconcagua in Atlanta.

L'Orchestre National d'Île-de-France, emmené par Christian Arming, proposait l'ouverture des Noces de Figaro, la Symphonie n°7 de Beethoven et, entre les deux, le rarement entendu Concerto pour Bandonéon d'Astor Piazzolla, avec Per Arne Glorvigen en soliste.

Last Thursday’s concert with the Oslo Philharmonic featured four pieces with little or no connection to each other, other than three of the pieces being either written by Spanish-speaking composers or actually being about Spain. Yet, apart from one piece, it all came together into a rather coherent whole.The concert began with Jacques Ibert’s Bacchanale.
