The ensemble "Tango Sentimentale" writes about its new album:

The idea had been in our heads for a long time before the right moment came to implement it. The TANGO SENTIMENTALE ensemble succeeds in fusing classical and modern music in one project.

Tango . . .
music between passion and melancholy
dance of seduction, devotion and distance
lure of fascination and eroticism

Moments in the style of traditional tangos by Astor Piazzolla and Sebastian Piana meet modern compositions of the present.
In such encounters of a very special kind, familiar elements of a bygone era combine with the forever enduring wishes, dreams and desires in the here and now.
Played with abandon with accordion and string quintet, "Tango Sentimentale" takes us into a world of sound full of emotions and fantasy.

For more than four decades, Max Spenger was violist with the Munich Philharmonic. His "real" instrument, however, has been the accordion since childhood – and at some point during a concert tour through Argentina Spenger's heart for Tango ignited. Together with his colleagues from the Bavarian State Orchestra, he founded the ensemble "Tango Sentimentale". Now the first CD album including world premiere recordings is available.
