Albores

An album of soliloquies from the master. After highly acclaimed albums in formations from duo and trio to family band and orchestra, here is the great Argentinean bandoneon player Dino Saluzzi in his first purely solo recording in more than 30 years. (The early solo albums Kultrum and Andina established his reputation outside his homeland). Recorded in the Saluzzi Music Studio in Buenos Aires between February and June 2019, it is a powerful reminder of Dino's gifts as a musical storyteller of great subtlety. His pieces, in this intimate recording, reach back to early memories; "Don Caye", subtitled "Variations on the work of Cayetano Saluzzi", is a most touching dedication to Dino's father. Throughout, the bandoneonist reflects upon the fleeting passage of time, instrument and performer breathing as one.
