Piazzolla's L'histoire du tango: the most frequently invoked piece in the entire Latin Classical repertoire. We invite you to hear a fresh, new interpretation in the authentic hands of two leading Argentine soloists, Amalia Pérez and Darío Barozzi. Filmed against the backdrop of the sumptuous Estudio Charlone patio in Buenos Aires, the event sets the work in the context of the 19th-century tango roots that inspired it. Tracing the tango's various eras, the work is concluded with a special new commission by Barozzi to mark the composer's centenary: APP 2021 - an additional movement which updates the Suite into the preset day. Alongside other works from the guardia vieja, tango's first flourish, we present Piazzolla's other great gift to the flute: the complete Tango-Etudes.

Asociación de Críticos Musicales de Argentina

Born in Argentina, Amalia Pérez enjoys a busy career as a soloist and chamber musician. She is currently Principal Flute of the Argentine National Symphony Orchestra. As a soloist, she has performed alongside the Argentine National Symphony Orchestra, the Mar del Plata Symphony Orchestra, and the Sinfonieorchester Basel, among others. She obtained First Prize in the XXVI Concurso Estímulo para Jóvenes Concertistas  (Argentina) and the 35ème Concours National d'Exécution Musicale (Switzerland). She studied in Argentina under Fernando Quiroga and Patricia Da Dalt and in Switzerland in the Hochschule Basel under Kiyoshi Kasai and Felix Renggli.

'Something happens every time Darío sits down with his guitar: he creates a new world; his own world.'
