Homage to Astor Piazzolla
Description
This film is a tribute to a 20th century composer who, like many before him in our musical history, suffered seriously from prejudice during his lifetime and became a best seller not long after his death. The film includes Piazzolla himself with his last and best quintet playing three of his best known pieces (Escualo, Invierno Porteño and Tangata), plus Gidon Kremer and his friends, Vadim Sakharov, Per Arne Glorvigen and Alois Posch appearing in five of Piazzolla's pieces at an astonishing concert in the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London.
