L'Achéron/François Joubert-Caillet: Soleils De Septembre

Astor Piazzolla was in his early thirties when he travelled to France to study composition with Nadia Boulanger at the American Conservatory in Fontainebleau. Her guidance profoundly shaped his music. While Piazzolla sought to refine his classical style, Boulanger urged him to embrace his roots in tango, encouraging him to elevate, not abandon, his identity. This project celebrates their meeting by weaving together their musical worlds: Piazzolla’s Argentine heritage — Carlos Gardel, Alberto Ginastera — and Boulanger’s French influences, including Gabriel Fauré and Lili Boulanger, as well as her love for early music, reflected here through a consort of viols. The dialogue between classical works and Piazzolla’s Paris-era pieces evokes their extraordinary exchange: unexpected, magical, and unique.
