"Lamento" is a captivating blend of Baroque elegance and Argentine passion, brought to life by the virtuoso pianist Martin Klett and his ensemble Cuarteto SolTango. At the heart of this album are two masterful piano concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach: the Piano Concerto in D Minor, BWV 1052, and the Piano Concerto No. 5 in F Minor, BWV 1056. These works showcase Bach's unparalleled genius and Klett's extraordinary technical prowess.
The album takes an unexpected and exhilarating turn with the inclusion of tangos arranged by two legendary figures of the genre, Horacio Salgán and Osvaldo Pugliese. These tangos, performed with the same level of artistry and precision as the Bach concertos, offer a unique contrast and a delightful surprise. The tangos arranged by Salgán include "Recuerdo," "Tierra Querida," and "El Marne," while Pugliese's arrangements feature "Mi Lamento" and "La Rayuela."
