Inspired by their fascination for “Tango Nuevo”, three young musicians founded the group “Luz y Sombra” during their studies at University of Arts Berlin.

With creativity and passion, the trio is since then arranging and performing the multifarious opus of Astor Piazzolla throughout Germany.

Featuring violin, clarinet and piano, the group emerses the audience into the emotional world of Piazzolla’s music, a music full of desire, grief and joie de vivre at the same time.

Trío Central – Falsa Alarma
First of all: „Falsa Alarma“ (“False Alert”) by Trio Central is simply brillliant and one can only wish for such a false alarm! My favourite pieces are “El Pollo Ricardo” and “Boedo” – the wonderfully playful piano is just ingenious here as well as the replying bandoneon. Or perhaps all of the songs are my favourite pieces?

The very first piece makes me wander off into the land of daydreaming. „Prepárense“ – „Prepare Yourselves!“ is the appropriate title of the first Tango by Astor Piazzolla on this CD by the Ensemble Libertango. And so I am preparing myself for further auditory pleasure which this CD promises. Piazzolla provided nine further compositions to this CD. The perfect chill-out music accompanying a longdrink or cocktail at sunset – and letting the day’s events pass review again before I eventually leave it all behind and allow myself to indulge in the freely floating associations that this music evokes. During spring in Buenos Aires („Primavera Porteña“) I see the lush blue-violet coloured blossoms of the jacaranda trees, perfect beauty beyond comparison.

3 bandoneons, 3 violins, a contrabass, a piano and 2 singers: This young orchestra of ten musicians have set their sights on following the lead of Carlos di Sarli, that is to play pieces melodically, in a steady and therefore danceable rhythm and with a romantic touch. And it is exactly that what they have achieved with this CD!
Fresh interpretations of popular Tangos like “9 de Julio” in a slower version, which provides room for a playful piano tune. I listen eagerly to the fresh tunes of “En esta Tarde Gris”, “Loca”, “Recuerdo” and “Nostalgias”.
