Latin American Dances / Various Latin American Dances / Various CD

Virtuoso duo Sndor Rig? and Christina Leeb-Grill have taken Jean Fran?aix's description of his own work, 'musique pour faire plaisir', as the motto for this program. Dance styles and rhythms are at the heart of this repertoire, from the spectacular Brazileira with which Milhaud concludes his theatrical Scaramouche, through Piazzolla's refinement of tradition in his Tango-?tudes, to the Brazilian rhythms showcased in Villa-Lobos's Fantasia. Paquito D'Rivera adapted his Invitaci?nal Danz?n especially for this recording, providing Sndor Rig? with space to demonstrate his brilliance in improvisation.
