Leonardo Ferreyra Tango Septet - Highlights in the Dietschweiler Saal

As a young man, Leonardo Ferreyra played with many of the great tango musicians from the heyday of tango in the forties and fifties. Today, the violinist himself is an undisputed master of tango interpretation. The Leonardo Ferreyra Tango Septeto plays unpublished tango arrangements that Ferreyra has performed with various groups over the course of his career. An important part of the repertoire are the arrangements by Argentinian bandoneonist Osvaldo Cabrera, who wrote for Ferreyra between 1989 and 1991. These are unknown gems, everlasting and simply beautiful. Listening to this music is an opportunity to get closer to a culture as special as that of Buenos Aires: the tango, which is still alive today. It is not only a musical journey, but also a journey through time, to the time of the first European immigration, to nostalgia, to the golden age of tango and to the time of its renewal and modernization.
