Piazzolla: Cien Anos Juanjo Mosalini / Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra of Boston & Gisele Ben-dor

This is a great album of works by the master of music of the Argentine tango, Astor Piazzolla, and works by Juanjo Mosalini, who is deeply steeped in the music of this tradition. If this album doesn't get you up on your feet, dancing, nothing will! Juanjo Mosalini was born into a musical family- his father and grandfather both played bandoneon, and they raised him to be deeply rooted in Argentina's musical traditions. He began playing bandoneon at eight years old. In 1999 he founded the first bandoneon course in Europe at the Conservatory of Music in Gennevilliers.
