Program Notes
One of the classic tangos from Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla, Libertango has attained worldwide popularity and remains one of his most popular works. Arranged here in a sensuous Latin rock style, this version features the woodwinds on the main melodic lines, and also a brief solo for trumpet with nicely crafted background figures throughout.
- Program Note from publisher
The title is a portmanteau merging "Libertad" (Spanish for liberty) and "Tango", symbolizing Piazzolla's break from classical tango to Tango Nuevo.
