I love Piazolla's music. It's real "put the rose in your teeth and throw the wineglass into the fireplace" music. Having said that, I find this couple more interesting if I don't watch them. The theatrics of the video get in the way, at least for me.

I saw Yo Yo Ma do this at Ravinia about 5 years ago.

The guy in the video you posted has a penchant for the theatrical. Here he is playing some Ligeti (I love this piece):

Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

They ARE about the theatrics. Yeah, they're good players too. Sometimes I find that they just belabor the point. But this was just a bit of fun fluff.

Definitely good players ... very good, actually. :thumb: :thumb:

Though I do wonder if that's really the most efficient arrangement to get the music. I suppose that's how I decide whether it's "fluff."

Unintentional, I assure you!

Appropriate, though. :whome:
