With her usual boundless curiosity, cellist Ophélie Gaillard explores the diversity of the music and culture of Argentina. Tango, chacarera, Piazzolla and his tango nuevo, the evocative world of Ginastera, the Pampas and the Andean plateaux, a Carnival dance, a love song ... this, and more. Joined by distinguished artists, Juanjo Mosalini and William Sabatier (bandoneons) and Tomás Bordalejo (guitar) - also the arrangers, or re-interpreters of these pieces - and singers Nahuel di Pierro, Inés Cuello and Agnès Jaoui, plus members of the Debussy Quartet, Ophélie Gaillard invites us to savour some of her favourite Argentine gems: the iconic La Cumparsita, the intimate Oblivion, Volver (recalling Carlos Gardel), and poetic treasures such as Pampeana, Puneña, and the delightful Canciónes – al árbol del olvido and a la luna lunanca.
