Festival begins today will could not perform. However, auspices of the Government of the City. "" This cultural center is the ideal place for the festival says Halou- , since one of its rooms named Astor . In addition, Borges and Piazzolla knew join in the poetic and musical. In this case, then, we honor two of our greatest
cultural values \u200b\u200bwith lectures, exhibitions and concerts, presented all by Laura Escalada Piazzolla. " The opening of the festival will be today at 18.
" About joining Borges Piazzolla, "recalls Laura," they wrote immortal themes, such as the milonga Jacinto Chiclana, and others like Man on Pink Corner, Someone tells the tango and the puppet. "
Astor Piazzolla, is known, died on July 4, 1992, after two years with the aftermath of a infarction.
"Nobody expected it," Laura says. In those two years could not speak or eat. I lived step this long agony of intensive therapy. In Europe I said, in Argentina is going to improve. Because he is in Buenos Aires. So we brought . And I harbored hopes of rehabilitation
because he, lefty, moved his left hand. never not understand your illness. I afe RRab him my feelings. And so I see out of your body the soul. not ask me how. It's very strong but indefinable. "
- Piazzolla is, for many years, a universal musician.
" His legacy is huge and universal. For this reason Astor Piazzolla is a trademark. To avoid manipulation and offal their children Daniel and Diana and I take care of these worldwide problems . Daniel handles the legal side Diana works as a consultant and I took out the foundation . Even as we incorporate Danielito, Astor's grandson, in these tasks. met everything could ask the teacher. Laura elaborates: "Many people living in the shadow Piazzolla, backed by the prestige of Astor. He was very generous. worked cooperatively with his musicians. This I know very few. In addition, he wrote for instrumental soloists and singers are lucieran . None of this is common among musicians. Even with the sextet invited bandoneon; first Pane, then Binelli. He enjoyed competing with them. I'm sure that if he were alive today, in his eighties, would play. had a vitality, a young impressive. "
- Diana wrote a beautiful book about his father ...
" That's why this festival will be read paragraphs of his book to be enlightened musically. addition, and luckily This reissue the editorial Planeta.
- And you, regardless of the problems of copyright , do you get along with the musicians?
"Look. I'm front. Or take me or leave me. I have no idea who is my enemy. I can not pretend that everybody loves me. Astor asked me to accompany him on tour. And ever asked me to convey a message musicians. To them this is not them amused. I am not angry with anyone. I have great admiration for Dede Wolf, Astor's first wife and mother of Daniel and Diana , a prominent painter. The boys inherited the genes of two parents artists. With it, who is also u na beautiful woman, have a good relationship. Astor was married to her. Then married me. I say more: I want to Amelita Baltar- was his companion for a while, come and sing with the quintet Foundation. I love. other, she plays like no other "Balada para un loco." Last time we offered together a talk at the Palais de Glace . It was very pretty.
Let's talk about the foundation.
-constituted in 1996 and the present in the room theater Casacuberta St. Martin last March 13. also have representation in Rome and New York. paintings treasure of the best Argentine plastic dedicated to Piazzolla, we have a ballet-esteem and quintet retain a proper musical slang Astor. for me is of paramount importance incorporate young people. I think they can prolong the legacy of Piazzolla . No one can take the name Piazzolla Quintet. Even us, out of respect to his memory, we have baptized Quinteto Astor Piazzolla Foundation. I believe that intellectual property is sacred. why we carry some trials . In this sense Daniel is a wolf guarding the legacy of his father.
- There are hundreds of versions of their music worldwide .
"It's true. But his original works are well written . We accept only transcripts and orchestrations. arrangements do not permit because many destroy the ideas of Astor. A Piazzolla does not fix anyone. addition, music is not simple, because he studied hard to write. why we must respect it. few days ago I sent a letter famous violinist Salvatore Accardo, telling me that
began recording two CDs with the work of Astor, be launched in November this year. And I provided a list of the twenty issues to be addressed. Thus Accardo was added to the versions that did Gidon Kremer, Yo-Yo Ma, Chick Corea, Al Di Meola, Gary Burton , excluding that memorable version of "Grand Tango" by Rostropovich. remember that Burton could not believe that Astor could have written so perfectly for his instrument, the vibraphone.
- This festival is also a trademark? "I know
Piazzolla festivals abroad. While in France are always cut themselves. anyway without our permission p here may be no other. I maintain that the honors have to make in lives of artists. We now taxes. (Question of words.) In this case it is an honor to be in the Borges, where it develops a very important artistic and cultural that usually does not spread, because we have the support of director Roger Halou. Finally want to make clear that our proposal is to conduct an annual festival.
