On this holiday Full Score we have a celebration of the heady, sensual Latin American tango, from its origins in the bars of 1880s Buenos Aires, through to Ástor Piazzolla’s Nuevo Tango. This BBC Proms recorded in the Royal Albert Hall features Grammy Award-winning pianist Pablo Ziegler along with leading singers and instrumentalists from Europe, the USA and Argentina. The raw and earthy vitality of the tango is explored, from the sultry intimacy of the bandoneon to the big-band orchestral forces of the Britten Sinfonia.
