Daniel Barenboim: Tangos Among Friends (UK-import)
A personal pilgrimage for world-renowned pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim to re-discover his home town of Buenos Aires, the magic of tango and the legend of its greatest pioneer, Carlos Gardel. Interviews and archive footage evoke the glamorous and optimistic spirit of Buenos Aires in the early 20th century, and show how tango brought material and artistic wealth to its impoverished, immigrant communities. Barenboim demonstrates tango styles and techniques, and brings the music of Gardel, Salgán, Píazzolla and Ginastera to life in performances with Rodolfo Mederos, Hector Console, and Placido Domingo.
