I don't know how today's video of Milonga del ángel ends. Call me squeamish but the swords got so long, I had to stop watching.
Every month through 2009 and 2010, I picked the most bizarre Piazzolla video of the month. If I were still carrying out that practice, today's video by the duo, Rosewood, Fire and Steel, would no doubt win for July, 2011. It is not the music that is bizarre - Phil Weaver plays a tasteful version of Milonga del ángel. It is the young lady, Patricia Forrest, swallowing steel swords of ever increasing lethality.
I assume she survived to film the next part of their act - swallowing (surprise!) fire while Mr. Weaver plays Classical gas.

Excellent work! Exciting and well-done by a very unique combo.
