John Wild Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 The BBC arts programme, Front Row, included an item of music from Julian Rowlands with the Santiago quartet, including bandoneon. They play a piece by Astor Piazolla (sorry if that is the wrong spelling). It includes a brief demonstration of how a bandonion works. This feature comes in about 19 minutes 36 seconds into the programme. Quote: The bandoneon is a traditional Argentinian squeezebox and a key component in tango music. Virtuoso Julian Rowlands performs on the instrument alongside the Santiago Quartet and gives Stig Abell a lesson in how to play it.[end-quote].

Steve Mansfield Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 If you download the podcast there’s another tune from the Santiago Quartet, another Astor Piazzolla composition. Lovely stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
