Info for Guitarra Mía: Tangos by Gardel & Piazzolla

Man kann sicher darüber streiten, wo die Anfänge des Tango liegen. Unstrittig ist aber, dass Carlos Gardel der erste große Vertreter dieses Genres war. Als Volkssänger hatte er angefangen und erreichte im Verlauf von gut 25 Jahren als Liedkomponist und Schauspieler und mit zahlreichen Schallplatten internationale Anerkennung. „Guitarra, guitarra mía“ war das letzte Lied, das Gardel noch aufnahm, bevor er 1935 bei einem Flugzeugabsturz umkam.

Nur wenige Monate zuvor hatte er einen Jungen für eine stumme Rolle in seinem letzten Film engagiert: Astor Piazzolla, der nach Gardel zur einflussreichsten Figur in der Geschichte des Tango aufsteigen sollte. Dabei galt er lange Zeit als „schwarzes Schaf“, weil er den Stil weiterentwickelte in Richtung Kunstmusik und Jazz und so den nuevo tango schuf. Mit Stücken wie „La muerte del ángel“ oder „Vuelvo al sur“ wurde er unsterblich.

Er spielte selbst das Bandoneon, setzte in seinen Ensembles aber oft auch die Gitarre ein. Doch erst in den 1980ern begann er für Gitarre zu komponieren und schrieb „Cinco Piezas“, mit denen dieses Album schließt.
