Seth Asarnow http://hombresdetango.com/ Seen and Heard International Concert Review San Francisco Symphony, Alexander Barantschik, violin and conductor, Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, 14.02.2007 (HS) "...Even with an extended cadenza, written for the violinist to link the two works, the most riveting music making came from Seth Asarnow. He used every aspect of the accordion-like bandoneon, its distinctive sound, its flexibility in rapid passages, and its range of attack from percussive to smooth legato, to get more soul and musical meat into his lines than anything else in the entire concert..." Ville HIltula http://www.villehiltula.com/ Ville Hiltula studied bandoneon and Argentinean tango four (4) years from 2002 to 2006 in Netherlands at the tango department of the Rotterdam Concervatory (Codarts) under Leo Vervelde, Victor Hugo Villena and Gustavo Beytelmann. As a bandoneon player and tango musician Ville has been working actively ever since and collaborated with many world renowned tango musicians such as Gustavo Beytelmann, Victor Hugo Villena, Gran Orquestra Tipica OTRA, Roberto Alvarez y Su Color Tango, Alfredo Marcucci, Pablo Agri, and played also with the pop groups Blof, El Juntacadáveres and Nuspirit Helsinki. Ville has also played with The Hague Philharmonic Orchestra, The Dutch Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, Amsterdam Sinfonietta, Chamber Orchestra La Tempesta and Kristjan Järvi & his Absolute Ensemble. He has also various TV performances. Ville has also had the priviledge to perform twice for the Dutch Royal Family. What is A La Parilla? The "A la parrilla" style of playing Tango is basically making up an arrangement on the spot. Often times musicians will base what they play on well known arrangements but sometimes it is mostly improvised. During and after the '60's, big Tango orchestras had a harder time staying afloat due to the decline of the popularity of Tango so smaller groups (Trios, Quartets) started sprouting. These musicians would get together and try to cover all the parts from known arrangements. Everyone would throw in what they knew in the same manner that one would bring food to be cooked on a grill (parrilla) at a barbecue pot-luck. Needless is to say that the higher the level of each musician, the less improvised the performance will sound. Great Tango improvisers can be compared to great Tango dancers, combining moves they are both familiar with in new and fresh ways. -Pablo Motta Genesis DanceSport Provided by www.tangosabor.com
