Revived in Tango<\/p>\n
1913 was the year of the tango, and the tango was celebrated all over the world. 100 years later there is no doubt that tango music continues to fascinate and is constantly evolving. Revived in Tango features a selection of the transboundary Tangos Ecclesiasticos of the Swiss composer and organist Guy Bovet. Here he combines the secular tango with the traditional religious organ. The result is an entirely new genre. With this recording, the world famous organist Ines Maidre wants to highlight the retrospective aspect of Bovet\u00b4s innovative compositions. Most of the tangos have references to historical organ repertoire and here Maidre presents six of them. These alternate with six works from the early French (N. de Grigny), Italian (G. Frescobaldi, D. Scarlatti), Spanish (P. Bruna), and German (J.K. Kerll, J.S. Bach) organ music. Through these alternations, Maidre point out the early inspirations for Bovet\u00b4s compositions in particular, and for tango music in general. Revived in Tango is a unique project, transcending genre boundaries and emphasizing that apparent contradictions are often closely linked. This release is a unique contribution to the development of organ and tango music. The recording is done on the historic Binvignat & Houdtappel organ (1791-1793), St. Quintinus Cathedral in Hasselt, Belgium.<\/p>\n

An astonishing album from organist Ines Maidre: Revived in Tango!<\/p>\n
The idea of this album is to present Bovet\u2019s tangos in pairs with their related earlier musical models in order to show the source of their inspiration and how much the tango transformation reveals or changes the prototype. The idea of ranking the tango before its prototype strengthens particularly the retrospective approach. The order of the tangos on the CD is different from the original due to the artistic goals of the programme. Of 12 Tangos Ecclesiasticos there are 6 presented together with 6 works from early French (Nicolas de Grigny), Italian (Girolamo Frescobaldi, Domenico Scarlatti), Spanish (Pablo Bruna), and German (Johann Kaspar Kerll, Johann Sebastian Bach) organ literature.<\/p>\n
Ever since Astor Piazolla in the second half of the XX century integrated the popular Argentinean tango with classical ideas on form and counterpoint, the tango has been legitimized as art music. Guy Bovet took a step further and combined the totally secular Tango with the religious organ style, creating a subtle and peculiar music genre. Even though a blend between the sacred and the secular have always existed in the organ music, Bovet\u2019s idea of combining the sexy dance with the religious styles certainly arouses curiosity. What makes the tango collection particularly original is the retrospective aspect of the music \u2013 most of the tangos follow certain musical prototypes and have references to some historic sacred organ repertoire.<\/p>\n
