I have always enjoyed guitar interpretations of Piazzolla's music but rarely have I been so impressed by a soloist as I was today by Russian guitarist, Alexsandr Sweet. There were five Sweet videos posted today and two of them were of Piazzolla's works: La muerte del angel and Primavera Porteña. Both are outstanding and are included below.
I find no information about Sweet on the internet but he is clearly skilled in classical and flamenco techniques. In fact he is so skilled that I think he plays the opening of the Primavera a little too fast. If anyone has additional information on Sweet, I hope they will add a comment to this blog.
