(2-LP set) For twenty years, Viveza, Canada's premier salon music group, has arranged and performed the delightful repertoire of miniatures by the great composers from Brahms to Piazzolla, with a dash of Spanish Music and Tango. The name Viveza is Spanish for "lively, vivacious", and the musicians, who play symphony and opera and teach in academy and conservatory, come together in Viveza for the joy of making their own music. Tango Tango is its release devoted to the group's favorite dance. The mix of works, from Gade to Piazzolla, not only samples the variety of forms and styles of tango, but also shows how composers like Stravinsky put their unique spin on it. The very close and rich sound makes it feel as if the listener is being treated to his/her own private performance by a topnotch dance ensemble.
