“Selección de tangos de Arolas” is a mesmerizing orchestral experience that encapsulates the essence of Eduardo Arolas’s mastery over Tango. This selection piece takes listeners through a journey of iconic compositions — each with its own distinct flair and emotion. The energy of “La guitarrita” strikes a playful yet sophisticated tone, inviting the listener into the world of Buenos Aires’s early 20th-century dance halls.
“El marne” and “Maipo” follow, with their evocative melodies that tell stories of heartache and nostalgia, characteristic of Tango’s emotive depth. The title “Comme il faut” suggests doing things in the right or proper manner, and within this piece, perfect musical form takes the spotlight, creating an intricate dance of melody and rhythm.
“Catamarca” and “Derecho viejo” sway into the mix with their traditional yet innovative takes on the tango rhythm, reflecting Arolas’s unique style that blends traditional tango roots with new-age flair. Finally, “La cachila” rounds off the suite, leaving an imprint of vivid expressions and Tango vitality, the echoes of which linger long after the last note, painting a soundscape that embodies the passionate spirit of Tango immortalized by Arolas and performed by Troilo’s Orchestra.
Recorded by the eminent Aníbal Troilo, this selection brings to life the intricate compositions of Eduardo Arolas, known as the “Tiger of the Bandoneón.” Troilo’s orchestra delivers an authentic rendition of these classic tangos with his characteristic depth and intensity. His rendition not only honors Arolas’s original works but elevates them with the masterful execution for which Troilo is known. The orchestra skillfully captures the dynamism and rich textures inherent in these tangos, marrying traditional instrumental techniques with modern interpretation. Listening to this selection by Troilo is akin to stepping back into the golden age of tango, where every note serves as a celebration of a storied cultural heritage, and the emotion of each piece punctuates the silence, bringing the past to vivid life.
