Hakon Skogstad: Two Hands to Tango

Pianist Hakon Skogstad gives his ten fingers to the sounds of tango on this creative collection ranging from originals to Astor Piazzolla. Skogstad’s touch is rich and romantic, flowing with passion on “Los Mareados” and “Felicia” while getting Chopinesque during “Sur.” As with all things Latin, there is a sense of drama, evoked well on “Norte” while he takes you to the smoke filled parlor with his stridings during “Milonga Impromptu” while skipping along with merriment on “Tango Del Angel.” Except for the 10 minute opus “Tristezas de Un Doble S,” The pieces are ranging between 2-6 minutes, making for a collection of tasty treats.
