In past decades Tango has become highly fashionable in classical concert programmes. One could almost say that Astor Piazzolla’s music has become standard repertoire. Though Tango’s broad range of styles has a lot more to offer than the iconic Piazzolla.
This is where a very personal vision takes off, one that begins with the ensemble Cuarteto SolTango. The cuarteto strive to bring the music from the Golden Age of Tango back to life – performed as artful chamber music in classical concert halls.
Inspired by the influential and prolific Tango artists Aníbal Troilo, Horacio Salgán, Osvaldo Pugliese, Martin Klett’s own arrangements enthuse audiences at international music festivals and numerous chamber music series in Germany.
During the season 2024/25, the Cuarteto SolTango performs, among others, at the Heidelberg Spring, the Brucknerhaus Linz, the Istanbul Music Festival and the Alte Oper Frankfurt. Their latest album “Poesía”, recorded at Bayerischer Rundfunk with Argentine singer Leonel Capitano, has been released 2023.
Furthermore, in collaboration with Deutschlandradio Kultur and the chamber music label CAvi, Martin Klett recorded an album with a larger ensemble: Bach Piano Concertos side by side with Tangos by Pugliese and Salgán – two of the greatest and most virtuoso Tango pianists.
