Mirian Conti - Tangorama - An Anthology of 20th Century Tango, Vol. 1

This panoramic survey of Argentine tangos shows the genre in all its rich variety of moods and virtuosity. It salutes Angel Villoldo, the father of tango, whose El choclo (�The Corncob�) is one of the most famous tangos of all time, and charts the music�s evolution towards the romanticism and lush harmonies of August�n Bardi. Improvisatory styles, syncopation and jazz harmonies were introduced by such great composers as Jos� Pascual and Orlando Go�i, whilst Enrique Francini developed his personal qualities of dissonance and rhythmic flair into the 1960s. This survey is the first in a series that will document around one hundred rare and classic tangos, all performed by the Argentine pianist Mirian Conti.
