Reviews and impressions

For Kremer, Tracing Astor marks a final statement in his recording of Piazzolla’s music for violin and strings. It is the natural conclusion to what has been a long and fruitful journey begun in 1995 with the Grammy-nominated Hommage à Piazzolla, followed by El Tango, and Eight Seasons (2000), which juxtaposed Piazzolla’s Four Seasons with Vivaldi’s. Kremer plans to keep all the Piazzolla music among his vast repertoire. – Nonesuch
