Libertango
Tango by Astor Piazzolla
In 1972, Piazzolla, after having recorded the remarkable LP "Concierto para quinteto" the previous year, he assembled the Conjunto 9, with which he recorded "Música contemporánea de la ciudad de Buenos Aires" (Contemporary Music of the city of Buenos Aires) , as if going beyond the issue of tanguidad (tango essence). The albums recorded by that nonet include the outstanding "Tristezas de un Doble A", "Vardarito" and "Onda nueve". After leaving Argentina again, Astor commenced his fruitful Italian stage, where he, among other numbers, introduced "Balada para mi muerte", with the female singer Milva, "Libertango" and the touching "Suite troileana", composed in 1975 when shocked by the news of Troilo's death.
