Astor & Nadia: The Meeting of Astor Piazzolla with Nadia Boulanger That Changed the Tango

Miradas Sobre El Tango Argentino, Book 1 [Perspectives on the Argentine Tango, Book 1]

De: Lázaro Droznes

Narrado por: Betsy Beard

Fictional drama about the meeting between Nadia Boulanger and Astor Piazzola that changed both the history of tango and the life of the musician. The famous author of Adios Nonino, Libertango, and Oblivion abandoned when young the tango and the bandoneon to learn and compose classical music. The meeting with the famous French music teacher Nadia Boulanger helped Piazzola to retrieve his musical roots and to revolutionize the Argentine tango with new techniques. Without Boulanger, Piazzolla would have never existed as such.

Piazzolla Finds His Voice

So creatively written and wonderfully narrated. In the form of a stage play. Believable conversation between Piazzolla and Boulanger. I loved it.
