This concert is magical! Cellist Nicolas Altstaedt plays Astor Piazzolla's "Le Grand Tango" with his friend, pianist Julien Quentin, in the twilight on a lakeside stage. Great musicians playing a composition that wrote musical history, in a special place at the perfect time of the evening: what could be better than that?
Nicolas Altstaedt's cello playing is considered a revelation. Born to German-French parents, Nicolas Altstaedt was one of Boris Pergamenschikow's last students at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin. He completed his studies under Eberhard Feltz. One of the most sought-after and versatile artists working today, Nicolas Altstaedt is an award-winning soloist, conductor and artistic director. His repertoire reaches from early music to contemporary compositions.
For this concert, Nicolas Altstaedt and pianist Julien Quentin perform “Le Grand Tango” by the "King of Tango,” Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla. With this composition, Piazzolla exemplifies the spirit of nuevo tango: traditional tango rhythms combined with jazz elements. Piazzolla wrote the piece in 1982 for Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, who premiered it in New Orleans in 1990.
Nicolas Altstaedt and pianist Julien Quentin play it at a very special place - the lake stage at the Turbinenhalle on Stienitzsee near Berlin. It's a place the two musicians associate with wonderful concerts they have played there. Nicolas Altstaedt says this lake is the most beautiful place he can imagine. So it was the natural choice for a location when DW Classical Music asked Nicolas Altstaedt to perform a special "Anti-Corona Concert" for us.
DW Classical Music is offering a digital stage for some of the many classical music artists who are currently unable to perform. The recordings are made by the artists themselves or by a single camera operator.
