Since the beginning in 1996, New Tango Orquesta have, on five albums
and a countless number of international tours up to now, with the
composer Per Störby as a leader, explored and developed the
concept of "nuevo tango". With their unique mix of baroque music,
tango, free improvisation, minimalism and romantique, they have gained
territory all over the world with their special sound. Their focused
performances are a complete acoustic, dynamic, and musically masterpiece
one should never miss.
Swedish New Tango Orquesta have released five albums: "The New Tango
Orquesta" 1998, "Part II" 2000, the Swedish Grammy nominated
"Bestiario" 2005 and the recently released "The Kiev Concert" and "Vesper" 2009.
They have made lots of music for movies and tv-series, "The return of
the dancing teacher" (Henning Mankell) and "Sketches of Frank Gehry"
(Sidney Pollack) among others. They have made music for several dance-
and theatre plays. They have toured all over the world, done
performances on rock venues in Moscow, tango venues in Buenos Aires,
jazz clubs in Istanbul and concert halls in Beijing.
Per Störby, who is
the musical motor in New Tango Orquesta as composer and artistic
leader, have started with the chamber music and developed a unique mix
of fugues, counterpoint, improvisation, dynamic, minimalism and
baroque music. The very newest music investigates, even more
far-reaching, all possibilities in the ensemble's acoustic sound
palette, with more accent on the art- and chamber music than before.
In a crowded auditorium in the powerful concert hall October Palace in
Kiev/Ukraine, New Tango Orquesta made one of their most intense and
magic concerts during 2008. The performance was recorded by Victor
Ovchinnikov, and was never really made for more than just a recording,
but the thought of releasing The Kiev Concert
as a proper album grew when it seemed to convey exactly that
electricity which appeared under those cut-glass chandeliers. The Kiev
Concert was released in February 2009.
Meanwhile, during an intense winter week in 2009, in a small house in Forsvik, close to the Göta Kanal's
floodgates in Vättern in Sweden, the band made a
recording with new music, which was released in September 2009 as their 5th album Vesper.
