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.

An Inspired Homage.......2004-03-24

Being a long-time fan of Astor Piazzolla, I am always seeking out performers who profess the same love for his work that I have. And having come to know about Richard Galliano through this site, I did not hesitate to order this CD when it first came to my notice.
With Piazzolla Forever, Galliano and his septet offer the listener a spectacular and virtuoso interpretation of some of the best known middle to late period compositions of the late Argentine musical giant.
Doing at least two of the Four Seasons of Buenos Aires has become de rigeur for any artist who dares to attempt Piazzolla. Galliano gives us all four, and in splendid fashion at that. In addition, we are treated to fine renditions of Milonga del Angel, Sur, Michelangelo 70, Escualo, as well as an extended solo interpretation of the classic Libertango by Galliano himself. As an added treat, a piece of the rarely covered Aconcagua is performed and Galliano slips in a little composition of his own in personal tribute to Piazzolla and his wife Laura. This recording is so good, it is hard to tell that it is live but for the occasional applause.
Galliano and his able sidemen show that they have learned the covered material inside out. I highly recommend this inspired work of homage to all fans of both Galliano and Piazzolla. You won't be sorry you bought it.

This is what music is all about.......2003-12-27

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.
