Composer's Artistic Vision

Martín Palmeri, born in Argentina in 1965, is inspired by traditional tango and Astor Piazzolla's Tango Nuevo, incorporating these influences into his compositions.

Performer Biography

The Dresdner Kapellsolisten, whose members are mostly from the Sächsische Staatskapelle, are committed to historically informed performances of Baroque, classical, and romantic music.

Composition History

Astor Piazzolla, a key influence on Martín Palmeri, developed a 'new tango' for the concert stage after being encouraged by Nadia Boulanger to embrace his Argentine musical heritage.

Compositional Technique

Palmeri's 'Misa a Buenos Aires' uses a scoring of mezzo-soprano, mixed choir, tango quartet, and string orchestra, staying close to the authentic ensembles of Argentine tango orchestras.

Performer Biography

The Cuarteto Rotterdam, named after its 'birthplace' at the Rotterdam World Music Academy, was established in 2004 and won first prize at the 2011 International Accordion Competition.

Compositional Technique

Martín Palmeri's compositions, including his sacred vocal works, reference classical European music traditions in their genres, forms, and detailed elaboration, often using recurring motives and polyphonic structures.

Compositional Technique

The bandoneón, a type of concertina, plays a crucial role in Palmeri's 'Misa a Buenos Aires', sometimes as a singing voice and other times as a rhythm instrument, to preserve the 'tango soul'.
