PIANO RECITAL / Un Argentin à Paris

Astor Piazzolla by Christine Chareyron (piano)

THE COMPOSER

Born in Mar del Plata in 1921, Astor Piazzolla, pianist & bandonéonist, in the beginning performed the popular music of his country, Argentina. Irresistibly attracted by composition, he moved to Paris to study with Nadia Boulanger who persuaded him to return to his roots and to create his own musical language. Deceased in 1992, Astor Piazzolla is now recognised and his work is performed the world over.
