Program Notes
The Tango is many things to many people. To dancers it is a sensual ceremony. To lovers it is a stolen kiss, a treason in the shadows. Poets sing it with passion and philosophers decry its despair. The young associate it with decadence and the old with nostalgia. I only try to capture some musical elements of the Tango and like a kaleidoscope, I fragmented, changed and recombined its rhythms, tensions and articulations. Perhaps the harp tries to remember a dream while the strings slide through the streets of Buenos Aires on a rainy day. Perhaps the flute dances through life like a Tango. Lalo Schifrin Three Tangos has been recorded by Marisa Canales (flute) Lidia Tamayo (harp) with the Conjunto de Camara de la Ciudad de Mexico Benjamin Juarez Echenique, Conductor Urtext Digital Classics JBCC 001 Program note from the album liner~ Three Tangos remind us of (Schifrin’s) collaborations with his friend Astor Piazzolla; dressed in cosmopolitan clothes, Schifin’s Tango is a perfect vehicle for contemporary music. The nervous first tango explores the low register of the flute before traveling throughout many emotional regions in a wordless soliloquy. The second tango seems to start in a dream, Schifrin owes here more to Borges than to Gardel. The third Tango is again a proof of the soloist’s virtuosity and the composer’s handling of the strings, a clear confirmation that the tango belongs in the concert hall, Just as Albéniz, Stravinsky and Bartók had predicted.
