Editorial Reviews Amazon.com's Best of 1998 Composed more than 30 years ago, this "little tango opera" remains a work of stunning originality. Indeed, the alchemy achieved here by tango master

Astor Piazzolla--whose avant-garde, quasi-symphonic meditations on this vital dance form have achieved renewed popularity--and librettist Horacio Ferrer involves a particular amalgam of music and surrealist poetry that is part cabaret, part smoky Sprechstimme, and ultimately sui generis. Violinist Gidon Kremer and a tight ensemble of colleagues show keen empathy for this symbolist allegory of an ambiguous, archetypal journey of the soul. --Thomas May Amazon.com essential recording City gives birth to girl. City loses girl to shadowy underworld. City reunites with girl's spirit. That is the story of Mara de Buenos Aires, a 30-year-old Spanish-language operetta composed by Astor Piazzolla, the foremost proponent of modern tango. This recording was encouraged by violinist Gidon Kremer, resulting in an elegant new arrangement (down from the original eleven musicians to eight, including the late Piazzolla's beloved bandoneon) and the appearance of Horacio Ferrer, who... read more See all editorial reviews...

Mara de Buenos Aires was composed (for an 11 musicians ensamble), first played and recorded in 1968. This original version was published in Argentina by Trova Ediciones Musicales (on LP as TL-20/2; reissued on CD as 5013 and 5014), and was never published in other countries (except for a 1990 edition in Spain by Alfa, AFCD-14/15). In November 1987, the operita was completely rearranged (and in a certain sense, "re-composed") for an homage to Piazzolla, and staged at Theatre Municipale de Tourcoing. This arrangement not only included about 30 musicians and more than five singers, but also altered the original parts of the work; the intended effect was somewhat more "operatic" than the original. Unfortunately, _this_ one was the only available version in most countries until 1998. In consequence, Gidon Kremer's version IS based upon the original, and NOT the Milan one. I do not certainly love this Desyatnikov's rearrangement; I think that the original percussion and drums really added to the sound, and it seems that the bandonen can't reach here the intense feeling of the original, despite its technicial perfection. Anyway, I can't deny the relevance of this album; it's still the only available version of the original operita in most countries, and I certainly think that Mara de Buenos Aires is Piazzolla's masterpiece, even when not his most complex work.

Was this review helpful to you? 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Can words do justice to such Genius? Let me try...., February 27, 2002 Reviewer: zimri-lim (see more about me) from London, England Piazzolla's "Maria of Buenos Aires" is a work of great genius created by one of the finest and most natural composers of all time. This is music that will transfix the listener and create a powerful musical and emotional intensity. While words cannot fully describe the beauty and awe of this music I will attempt to elucidate my impressions of this outstanding production: "Maria" written some thirty years ago is a key work which successfully combines Tango idioms with Opera to create something of great power and emotional force. Piazzolla's music and Uruguayan poet Horacio Ferrer's words combine to form a evocative mood and melancholic story around our tragic heroine, the eponymous Maria of Buenos Aires. This is a two-CD set, well presented with the Spanish libretto and translations into various other languages including English and German. The packaging is excellent such that this would make a very presentable gift. Being a double CD with some 100 minutes of music this is a substantial work and one which handsomely repays repeated listenings. For those of you who have not previously been exposed to the music of Astor Piazzolla I would comment that he is, in the opinion of many, one of the leading composers of the last century. As well as being prolific in his output he possessed in abundance the ability to create and arrange beautiful music with a profundity and integrity that bears comparison with any other. Not for him the avant-garde musings of other composers Piazzolla's creativity ran so deep that he did not need to resort to the esoteric. His music is both accessible and clear but always new and reinventing itself. His music ran from his pen almost as fast as he could write it down - he was a true natural. Only Piazzolla had the ability and vision to create a sustained work of Tango music at this level of quality. The musical material is of the highest standard and contains much deeply moving music. Horacio Ferrer's contribution is less easily measured especially given the rather challenging Spanish vocabulary and imagery he uses. The story is rather impressionistic involving Maria dying twice (now that really is tragic!) and works better on an emotional than a logical basis gelling with the Tango propensity for tragedy and loss. The original Piazzolla version of this work was rather different to the current arrangement which has a very classically oriented approach based largely on strings. Use of the bandoneon (Piazzolla's weapon of choice) is substantially reduced and a greater emphasis has been put on strings, especially 'Cello. Gidon Kremer, the arranger, band leader and violinist has added greatly to the work by interpreting it with enormous sensitivity and taste. I saw a production of "Maria" in London two years ago and the arrangement was very mediocre but Kremer's production is in a much higher league and top marks to him for bringing the essence of Piazzollas music

and drama into such a clear perspective here. For those interested in following Piazzolla's music through it is worth noting that Kremer is an excellent interpreter of Piazzolla's music having produced a number of excellent CDs. In the case of "Maria" the classical background and sympathy with Piazzolla's compositions gel particularly well in this production given the scale of the work and the resources required to sustain the production. Much, possibly even all, of this music are so poignant that they will reach into your soul and remain with you. All of this production is music at the highest level of creativity and humanity; it starts nigh on perfect and never dips below that high level, Piazzolla seemed incapable of producing "filler" in his music. This is is amongst the greatest music of the last century regardless of genre. For those looking for truly great music I cannot recommend this CD highly enough. I urge you to buy it and immerse yourself in it.

Desde que lo escuche solo deseaba tener una copia. La lleve a casa y mi esposa dijo al escucharlo, "oh, es Piazzolla". En efecto, es y no es. Sin duda el alma de Piazzolla esta en este trabajo asi como la presencia de Maria-Tango, una obra que ahora solo me falta verla en uno de los teatros de Buenos Aires, cuando vuelva de visita a esa querida ciudad, para tener una vivencia completa. Recomiendo este trabajo y veran, desde el primer tema, que no es una recomendacion simplemente formal. Was this review helpful to you? See all 6 customer reviews...
