JOBIM OR VILLA-LOBOS?

Milano / Thursday 22 September 2016

Concert programme

There exists a playful exchange between the music of Villa-Lobos and the songs of Jobim, between Falla’s Spain and Piazzolla’s Argentina. That exchange is intelligently explored by cellist Ophélie Gaillard and her ensemble, along with guitarist and vocalist Toquinho. A feast of all-new and very curious transcriptions.
