Tango Siempre Reviews
“…a brilliant fusion of classical, tango, jazz and roots” - The Guardian
“The last album to explore jazz fusion and tango with this lightness of
touch was nominated for a Latin Grammy… Tango Siempre deserve an honour
or two for this delicious, daring experiment.” - (****) Songlines
“…an effortless fusion of Latin Passion and jazz virtuosity” - Sunday Times
“…the collision of tango, jazz and contemporary classical/electronic
music performed by Tango Siempre is glaringly intelligent and a joy
from start to finish.” - (****) Jazzwise
“...intense, epic and beautiful” - Independent on Sunday
“…a rich, hot-blooded brew full of passionate melody, punctilious
detail and bravura wit… uniquely exciting and beautiful music” - (****)
MOJO
“…subtle, unconventional and highly effective… a stroke of devil's magic” – (*****) Oxford Times
“…delectable… moody and magnificent” - (****) The Record Collector
“Truly talented… spectacular self-composed pieces... completely transfixing” - The Big Issue
“Tango Siempre can do passion, drama, melancholy beauty and
sentimentality… they play with a fiery spirit that goes hand in fist
with virtuosity and precision. Tango, like God, and like the Devil, is
in the details.” – John L. Walters, The Guardian.
“You can't fault Tango Siempre, the British ensemble based around the talents of accordionist Pete Rosser, violinist Ros Stephen and pianist Jonathan Taylor. Since forming in the late 90s they've done everything right; touring, commissioning new music and pushing the limits of the idiom, while delivering performances that have the verve and passion you might expect from, well, older, less British players.” - (****) The Guardian
