Misatango

Description

All the parts of a mass (Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus Dei) are present. But with an unusual, dancing, and enchanting rhythm. Martin Palmeri brilliantly combines the choir and orchestra with a piano, but also... with a bandoneon. This emblematic instrument of tango adds its unique touch to the work and gives this sublime mass a tragic tone. Created in 1996, La Misatango ("Mass in Buenos Aires") is now enjoying worldwide success: performed in 2013 at the Vatican in honor of Pope Francis and his home country, at Carnegie Hall in New York in April 2016... This world premiere recording will today introduce you to this mass that blends sensuality and spirituality.
