About this release

One of the leading players of the classical accordion, Janne Rättyä, takes the listener on a journey into the world of tango that spans two and a half centuries. The route goes from Scarlatti's baroque-inspired works to a dizzying array of 20th-century international gems. The journey culminates in Piazzolla's classic "Le Grand Tango", where Rättyä joins forces with the well-known Swiss cellist Patrick Demenga.
