Le Salon Musical à Buenos Aires

This is a fine selection of "SALON MUSIC FROM BUENOS AIRES" composed by classical composers that dealt with the tango genre and is the result of a research made by Argentinian pianist Estela Telerman and guitarist Walter Ujaldón. Most of these scores are valuable manuscripts. The programme covers pieces from around the turn of the 19th to 20th century (N°1, 4), from the twenties (N°2, 3, 5) and from modern times (N°6). Some of these delightful miniatures - a blend of tango and habanera rhythms - take us back to the "belle époque" years in Buenos Aires. -----ESTELA TELERMAN------ studied with Dora Castro at the Municipal Conservatory of Music and completed her studies in Liberal Arts at the University of Buenos Aires.
