Astor Piazzola: Histoire du Tango (for flute and guitar) [because I got Bob Seeger'ed one too many times this week]

Bob Seeger doesn't want to hear `em playin' tango?  Oh, yeah.
Well, here ya go Bob, Histoire du Tango (1985)

Heard "Old Time Rock `n Roll" one too many times this week and had to do a little post highlighting one of the better-known composers of tango as contemporary chamber music.  I think the second movement (1930 Cafe) has a good claim to being one of the best slow movements in a cyclical work for flute and guitar anyone has written. 

Not wanting to hear tango is the loss of rockists. To everything there is a season, after all.
