Your support makes all the difference.The Artemis Quartet cellist Eckart Runge has been fascinated by the tango music of Carlos Gardel and Astor Piazzolla since the mid-1980s, discerning in it a blend of joy and melancholy.
Over the past decade, he has collaborated with the Chilean pianist Jacques Ammon as the tango duo Celloproject, a pairing that has now been expanded to involve Runge's Artemis bandmates for these chamber pieces by Piazzolla. "Estaciones Porteñas", a vivid portrait of the four seasons as experienced in Buenos Aires, may prove to be his most enduring composition, duly rendered with restrained elan here.
