Rosenblatt Tango

Tango

Alexander Rosenblatt (b.1956)

Born in Sverdlovsk (former USSR), graduated in piano performance from the Mussorgsky Music Academy.  Virtuosity and humor is a trademark of Alexander Rosenblatt.

The pianist and composer does not limit himself to a genre or theme but exploits the full potential of music.  Rosenblatt has composed Masses, music for Theatre as well as other works, but has never forgotten his love for Jazz and Tango.

Tango is a style of ballroom dance music in 2/4 or 4/4. The tango has become part of the repertoire for great classical musicians.  This Tango was written in two versions (for solo piano and for two pianos); it shows the variety and enthusiasm ofRosenblatt playing which will prove a lot of fun to any one attempting to play it!
