Tango Finesse

TANGO FINESSE

Traffic Strings

SonArt Records

by Andrew Lorenz

If you are a lover of the tango, this is the CD for you. Lucian Moraru has arranged 10 pieces by Astor Piazzolla and Jealousy by Jacob Gade. Other works include movements from Tango Suite for piano, Oblivion, Tango Choc & Plus Ultra and more. Traffic Strings is heard in live performances, the group consisting of two violins, viola, cello, double bass, pan-pipe, accordion and piano. Moraru states in his liner notes, “This ‘timbral mix’ gives the project an exotic air which is totally distinct from the sound universe we got used to when listening to Argentine tangos . . . this new timbral combination brings to the forefront rhythms that give the feeling of a sonority created by percussion instruments.” For this reviewer, sometimes the very wide vibrato in the loud playing of the pan-pipe is rather disconcerting; however overall, the tone is attractive. Traffic Strings features fine ensemble work which makes for some exciting and dramatic performances. The writing is virtuosic and the spirit of the tango is certainly brought to life.
