Description:

In response to Pablo Ziegler and Christopher O’Riley’s “Los Tangueros” tour, the Los Angeles Times raves that “the sound of two pianos can be practically symphonic, and the arrangements brilliantly demonstrate the grandeur of this music.” Host of National Public Radio’s From the Top, O’Riley has stretched the piano beyond conventional boundaries, from his groundbreaking transcriptions of Radiohead, Elliott Smith, and Nick Drake to his sublime interpretations of the classical canon. The Buenos Aires–born Ziegler has become one of the most important figures in Argentine Tango Nuevo, the vibrant musical hybrid of classic tango and American jazz. Together, the two perform a program of new compositions and music by Astor Piazzolla.
