FURIA - DEIANA DUO
[PT] Uma formação versátil e fascinante que combina o som apaixonado do bandoneon de Fabio Furia com o virtuosismo da guitarra de Alessandro Deiana. Em "A los maestros", título do CD homónimo assinado pelos dois músicos, todas as canções se centram no estilo e nos arranjos de dois "Duos" históricos: Osvaldo Montes e Anibal Arias e Julio Pane com Juanjo Dominguez. É um repertório profundamente romântico, nostálgico, requintado e envolvente que é reinterpretado e combinado com o gosto musical pessoal dos dois artistas. Um percurso que marca a evolução deste querido género musical, partindo do tradicional até à vanguarda e à sua mais alta nobreza. Muitas das peças aqui apresentadas, partindo de uma forte conotação popular, ultrapassaram as fronteiras do tango, aterrando nas mais prestigiadas salas de concerto na atuação dos mais importantes intérpretes de música clássica, ópera e jazz.
