New Episode Saturday April 26, 2025!

Astor Piazzolla is the musician most associated with Tango Nuevo. However, there were a number of composer-performers who contributed to the development of this style of tango writing—fellow bandoneón player, José Libertella, among them. In the 1950’s Libertella met and performed with Piazzolla, and in 1973, together with Luis Stazo, Libertella founded the ensemble, Sexteto Mayor.

In this episode of Inside Music, Maestro Maull explores the Sextet’s 1992 recording of Melodía Oriental. Musical aspects of this tango, as well as the superb playing of first violinist Mario Abramovich, will be featured.
