Andrés Gabetta (violin & conductor), Veronica Cangemi (soprano), Mario Stefano Pietrodarchi (bandoneon and accordion) and the Gabetta Consort present "From Venice to Buenos Aires", a remarkable journey from 18th century Venice to the streets of Buenos Aires. Carried by Antonio Vivaldi's dazzling concertos and the fiery passion of Astor Piazzolla's "María de Buenos Aires", the album traces Italian music across centuries and continents. Luca Salvadori's imaginative compositions, including the commissioned works "Overture: Tango Baroque" and "Mater Maria", interweave baroque structures with nuevo tango rhythms, creating a breathtaking dialog between old and new. The album is a tribute to women, with Maria as the common thread. From the violin concerto dedicated to Anna Maria to Piazzolla's arias written for female voices and the moving works of Luca Salvadori, the album celebrates female presence, strength and artistry across time and style. The recording also includes operatic gems by Giovanni Bononcini and Leonardo Vinci as well as Piazzolla's expressive arias, from the defiant "Yo soy María" to a tender "Ave Maria" arranged for violin, bandoneon and soprano. "From Venice to Buenos Aires" is a vivid, captivating exploration of the power of music to tell stories across worlds - where sacred and secular, past and present collide in timeless and stirring melodies.
