Reviews

‘In all these miniatures—some arrangements, some written for the instrument—there are folkloristic echoes amplified by compelling rhythmic variations, extended harmonies and songlike melodies … what makes Denoth’s offering a must-have is a musical sensitivity exemplified as much by his curation as by his playing’ (Gramophone)

‘Denoth brings lyricism and fire to his performances of this master of the tango … Piazzolla once stated 'For me, tango was always for the ear rather than the feet.' This excellent album is firm confirmation of the power of this arresting form’ (BBC Music Magazine)
PERFORMANCE
RECORDING
Chiquilín de Bachín ('Bachín Lad') refers to the Bachín, a restaurant in Buenos Aires frequented by Piazzolla and his friends. From this inspiration came a song:

Por los noches, cara sucia,
de angelito con bluyín,
vende rosas en la mesas
del boliche de Bachín.
At night, with dirty face,
A little angel in blue jeans
Sells roses at the tables
In the Bachín bar.

Chiquilín de Bachín («Le petit gosse de Bachin») fait référence au Bachín, un restaurant de Buenos Aires fréquenté par Piazzolla et ses amis. C’est la source d’inspiration d’une chanson:

Le soir venu, le visage sale,
Comme un petit ange en jean
Il vend ses roses de table en table
Au Gril de Bachin.

Chiquilín de Bachín („Der Bachín-Junge“) bezieht sich auf das Bachín, ein Restaurant in Buenos Aires, das bei Piazzolla und seinen Freunden beliebt war. Aus dieser Inspiration entstand ein Lied:

Por los noches, cara sucia
de angelito con bluyín,
vende rosas en la mesas
del boliche de Bachín.
Des Nachts, mit schmutzigem Gesicht,
wie ein kleiner Engel in Blue Jeans,
verkauft er Rosen an den Tischen
der Bar des Bachín.
