Ojos Negros

Bandoneón and cello: an unlikely combination of instruments taking the spirit of the tango to new heights. And yet, with a unity of voicing and feel for the dance, Dino Saluzzi and Anja Lechner move as one. As a gallery of Saluzzi’s music, the album shines with the depth of his autobiographical insights. As an ECM production, it epitomizes the label’s mission to render the borderless in pristine terms. This is the meeting of two travelers of the heart, swapping stories with the fortunate listener before going on their separate ways. Ojos Negros sounds like nothing else.
