Premiering in 1968, the piece is one of Piazzolla's most ambitious and innovative works, blending tango, classical music, and surrealist poetry. It represents a major departure from traditional tango, showcasing Piazzolla's distinctive nuevo tango style-complex, dramatic, and infused with elements of jazz and avant-garde music.-The operita tells the symbolic and enigmatic story of Maria, a woman born \"one day when God was drunk\" in the slums of Buenos Aires. She becomes a tango singer and a symbol of sensuality and suffering. After her death, Maria's shadow wanders through the underworld of the city, encountering surreal characters such as the Duende (a goblin-like narrator) and a chorus of psychoanalysts, construction workers, and thieves. The narrative is abstract, filled with metaphors and mystical elements, portraying Maria both as a real woman and an allegory for Buenos Aires itself, particularly it's tango culture.Musically, Maria de Buenos Aires is richly textured, featuring bandoneon (a type of concertina essential in tango music), piano, violin, and voice. Piazzolla's score breaks traditional tango rhythms and harmonies, pushing the genre into new emotional and intellectual territory.The work is often interpreted as a meditation on identity, femininity, urban life, and rebirth. Despite it's initial mixed reception, it has gained recognition as a groundbreaking piece in 20th-century music and a key work in Piazzolla's oeuvre. Maria de Buenos Aires remains a vivid, haunting exploration of the soul of Buenos Aires, where tango is not just a dance or music form, but a poetic expression of passion, loss, and resilience.Performed by Ce Suarez Paz (soprano Maria), Cesare Chiacchiaretta (bandoneon), soloists and the Orchestra Filarmonica della Calabria, conducted by Filippo Arlia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Prima: Alevare - Cuadro No. 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Prima: Tema de María - Cuadro No. 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Prima: Balada Para Un Organito Loco - Cuadro No. 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Prima: Yo Soy María - Cuadro No. 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Prima: Milonga Carrieguera - Cuadro No. 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Prima: Fuga y Misterio - Cuadro No. 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Prima: Poema Valseado - Cuadro No. 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Prima: Tocata Rea - Cuadro No. 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Prima: Miserere Canyengue - Cuadro No. 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Seconda: Contramilonga a la Funerala - Cuadro No. 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Seconda: Tangata Del Alba - Cuadro No. 11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Seconda: A los Arboles y Las Chimeneas - Cuadro No. 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Seconda: Aria de los Analistas - Cuadro No. 13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Seconda: Romanza Del Duende - Cuadro No. 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Seconda: Allegro Tangabile - Cuadro No. 15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Seconda: Milonga de la Anunciación - Cuadro No. 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaría de Buenos Aires-Parte Seconda: Tangus Dei - Cuadro No. 17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5028421967622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brilliant Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.28.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Orchestra Filarmonica Della Calabria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58253764362321,"sku":"9431","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4442502-3416344.jpg?v=1759466008","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/pre-order-orchestra-filarmonica-della-calabria-piazzolla-maria-de-buenos-aires-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
