What the Press is Saying
A Unique View On The World
“Masterly wedding of authentic native impulses in the context of a refined classical construction.”
La Nacion, ArgentinaA Unique View On The World
“Celebrating the release of new CD, New Tango Vision, Ferman played solo piano for an impassioned interpretation of Oblivion, yet without overstating the emotion or edge this work can inspire. Kudos to Binelli and Ferman for this rapturous concert of contemporary tango.”
Roberta in the Arts, USAA True Masterpiece, Bravo!
“With Binelli and Ferman’s teamwork, one missed none of the nostalgia, lyrical passion and throbbing dance rhythms that mark Piazzolla’s works.”
“The two musicians engaged in ravishing improvisatory flights of fancy that spelled pure jazz.”
The Washington Post, USAA True Masterpiece, Bravo!
“The transition from the voice of one instrument to the other is imperceptible, smooth and fluid. Polly’s pianissimos become rich echoes in the fine breath of Daniel’s accordion and vice versa. Mature teamwork is evidenced in the performance of this Duo, whose synergy is undeniable: the anticipation of the other’s interpretive emotion is no longer guesswork.”
Salvador De Maria y Campos Q. Festival Internacional Cervantino, MexicoA Unique View On The World
This is fully orchestral tango incorporating not only the progressive tango style which revolutionized the genre, but also the rich, classical tradition of Latin American composers and other Latin American musical forms such as the milonga and candombe. Featuring and highlighting the piano and bandoneon, the Montevideo Philharmonic sparkles with the rich, full-bodied color that only an orchestra can deliver. Sprinkling the album with some lilting waltzes, Orquestango explodes with passion wrapped up in red satin flair.
