Astor Piazzolla & Horacio Ferrer "Maria de Buenos Aires" Eduardo Isaac, guitar
GHA (126.051)
A splendid disk of the guitar-player Eduardo Isaac, in music that Astor Piazzolla wrote for the tango opera Maria de Buenos Aires. Astor Piazzolla, in collaboration with the librettist Horacio Ferrer, creates a surrealistic and dark opera placed in the dangerous and enchanting atmosphere of the harbour of Buenos Aires, with prostitute Maria as the lead character. The libretto is unfolded under the sounds of the marvellous music of Piazzolla, in a symbolic and metaphysical course, full of intense sentiments and mystery.
Eduardo Isaac, inspired by the amazing transcriptions of Sergio Assad on the Seasons of Piazzolla, creates eight wonderful transcriptions from this opera. The interpretation of Isaac is characterized by intense poetic disposal and clarity of his personal musical opinion, as well as deep knowledge of the composer’s music. This disk is one of the best for Piazzolla’s music and also one of the most brilliant for the classical guitar!
