Astor Piazzolla
Maria de Buenos Aires
The album
Recorded in September 2021 at the charming Colonia San Benedetto in Cetraro, Maria de Buenos Aires, with the Orchestra Filarmonica della Calabria, conducted by Maestro Filippo Arlia, revives the magical South American realism, ruthless and poetic , embodied in the theatrical masterpiece of Astor Piazzolla. Author of this tango-operita born from a metropolitan legend, Piazzolla, with stubborn courage , even if in respect of the tradition , has given rise to a surreal and visionary story that has become an avant-ga rde artistic product.
The sad stories of the unfortunate worker Maria, played by Ce Suarez Paz, take place in a m iserable suburb of Buenos Aires and are intertwined with the seductive sounds of tango. A woman, little more than a teenager, is captivated and seduced by a celestial sound emitted by a bandoneon, admirably played by Cesare Chiacchiaretta: a beautiful music and enchanting, Mary is caught up in it, soon meeting the evil of a city that turns her first into a singer and then into a prostitute.
The fascinating music of the violin by Giovanni Zonno and the electric guitar by Salvatore Russo , who succeed in uniting sacred, profane and fantastic, in an atmosphere between allegory and symbolism that strongly permeate every moment of the work. Maria die s, still very young and her death is also a condemnation to hell, and hell is the city of Buenos Aires, crowded with time-wasters, thieves and murderers where its ghost wanders, Until death is also the return to virginity. Mary is born again to give birt h to a child, a new seif , condemned to the eternal return of things. Around the Shadow of Mary move a Payador, Alberto Maria Munafo and a young writer, EI Duende, played by Alessandro Haber .
The story of Maria is a metaphor, which from the suggestions of the wonderful and universal music of Astor Piazzolla speaks of despair and loss of personal, civic and social identity . Thus comes to light a recording of drunks, murderer s, thieves , prostitutes and protectors moving around , where EI Duende, a kind of demon, goes to the tomb of Mary and brings her back to life forcing her back to the same terrible existence and where the demon Bandoneon seduces the wretched taking her on the road of evil for the second tim e. A work in which the tango , hypnotic and magnetic , marks the alterna4on of life and death, a ferocious but poetic music, which can make one reflect on the terrible consequences induced by the violent and evil behaviors put into action by human beings on their fellow men.
