About this arrangement

SKU: M7.INT-30792 Composed by Astor Piazzolla. CD. Duration 53'. Intuition #INT 30792. Published by Intuition (M7.INT-30792). Piazzolla's last recordings masterfully assembled and edited by his favourite producer Kip Hanrahan. The Argentine bandoneon master Astor Piazzolla did not live to see the completion of his final album. In 1989, shortly after recording some of the new material, he suffered a stroke, the consequences of which led to his death in 1992. These are gems that seem to capture mysterious night-time impressions between calm and frenzy. Before his death Piazzolla discussed details of mixing and editing with producer Kip Hanrahan; at Piazzolla's request, the torso is supplemented here with excerpts from one of his last concerts. Piazzolla's Testament would have been a concept album if he had still been able to play. But even in this form, it lacks none of the stirring urgency of the great tango nuevo composer.
