Tango Extremo.
Tango is passion, and tango is always extreme music, with often soft, melodious passage alternated with intensity and shrilling action within a period of two or three minutes. Tango is for a long time cross-border music, and the most interesting new tango sometimes comes from Norway or other exotic places from where you would not expect it. On this CD, works are played by among others Sergei Prokofiev; Rob van Kreeveld; Bruno Martino and Richard Galliano.
