1950’s Piazzolla Works Recovered – South Africa and Germany

Lothar Hensel1950’s Piazzolla works being recovered is an unexpected and exciting reality. These newly recovered works will have their first modern performance at the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra Concert with bandoneonist Lothar Hensel at the Cape Town City Hall, South Africa, on August 11th 2011.

“This orchestral material was considered lost and it is a sensation, bringing these works back to the concert stage” says Lothar Hensel. “In the fifties Astor Piazzolla received a stipendium to study in Paris with Nadia Boulanger. During his time in Paris he was extremely keen to experiment as well as being productive.

He composed a number of wonderful titles for bandoneon and chamber orchestra. Titles that evoke 'the  Paris' of the 1950s include ‘Chau Paris’, ‘Sens unique’, ‘S.V.P. (s'il vous plait)’, ‘Picasso’, and ‘Rio Sena’”.

Lothar Hensel wrote “I recovered an old vinyl record and because the music score was not available, I wrote out the music by listening to the recording. In December I'll produce it together with the broadcasting orchestra  Cologne WDR”.

German-born Lothar Hensel has studied in Buenos Aires and Paris with  famous tango musicians, amongst them Juan José Mosalini, Dino Saluzzi and Nestor Marconi. With his new group ‘Tango Fusión’ he fills concert halls around the world with classical music lovers as well as aficionados of tango dance.
