The sound experience: Alessandro Quarta – Plays Astor Piazzolla

What happens when one of the most masterly

violinists of our time devotes himself to the works

of the most influential Argentine composer?

And when three visionary pioneers of immersive

sound capture this unique musical event in all

future-oriented audio formats for the world?

Magic at the moment. Sound of highest precision. Emotion in its purest form.

The Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla is considered the founder of Tango Nuevo. For the first time he combined the elements of tango with those of classical music and achieved world fame with his award-winning work.

Violinist Alessandro Quarta, born in southern Italy, captivates with his inexhaustible curiosity to discover unknown sounds. His virtuoso playing is exceptional – and yet Alessandro Quarta never puts himself in the foreground. Rather, he lives, breathes music and thus enchants his audience.

Immersion – the submersion into another world – is the passion that drives the team of IAN Productions.The three visionary founding members Stefan Zaradic, Tobias Wendl and Stefan Bock are the brains behind it: Deep musical understanding and the use of groundbreaking audio technology enables them to record sound events in all three dimensions. The unique sound experience Alessandro Quarta – Plays Astor Piazzolla can be relished over and over again in all its intensity: The Deluxe Box containing a CD and a Pure Audio Blu-ray in all future-oriented audio formats is exclusively available online (www.alessandro-quarta.com) and will enthrall every con-noisseur of extraordinary musical pleasures.
