Ended Thursday and welcomed Friday with Albores by Dino Saluzzi, released on ECM in 2020.

Tyran Grillo wrote on ECM Reviews:

"Whereas many of us who once painted with fingers as a child moved on to brushes, Dino Saluzzi seems to have ignored that transition. On Albores, an album born of reckoning, Saluzzi renders what Luján Baudino in his liner note calls an “inner landscape.”

“Adiós Maestro Kancheli” opens on a somber note by paying respects to the late Georgian composer, who passed away in 2019. And yet, what we are given is more than a tribute or homage; rather, it is an identity without personhood, a force that animates the spirit of bygone days. Such redemptions of memory are as integral to Saluzzi’s language as sunlight and rain are to crops. .."

Was it Gardel who they used to put on photos inside bandoneones?

Or I think it was a player?

Fragile

An Italian musician I really enjoy is Claudio Constantini. He plays bandoneon and piano and shares beautiful reflections on music and life in general in his newsletter.

He's just released his 15th album, "Fragile" and these are some of his thoughts on the music and life as we're living it at the moment.
(link to his full text below where you can find a link to listen on your chosen service, or find it also on Qobuz which isn't in the link.)

"Life shapes us in different ways, through a mix of our upbringing, our influences, and our innate character. Some of us are built to withstand more than others. But at our core, we are extremely fragile beings, subject to the unpredictability of the world. Often, we find ourselves without the tools to face situations that feel much bigger than we are.

What I find beautiful, inspiring, even moving, is our resilience — our will to keep going despite being just tiny individuals in a vast, unfathomable universe.

Fragility is a defining part of who we are, all of us, and of the world around us."

Claudio Constantini November 29, 2025

Ended Monday and welcomed Tuesday after a swim with Ojos Negros an album by Argentine bandoneón player and composer Dino Saluzzi with cellist Anja Lechner, recorded in April 2006 and released on ECM the following year.

Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM Reviews:

There’s no better way to describe the wondrousness of Ojos Negros than to quote dance historian Sally Sommer: “Tango is self-transformation.” This groundbreaking debut of a duo nearly a decade in the making smacks of Sommer’s insight, works its fingers raw with the labor of its fluid intuition. Tango would be nothing without memory. That bandoneonista Dino Saluzzi and cellist Anja Lechner bring such a level of awareness to every note and space between alike is graspable enough. Less so are the whispers behind their collaboration, the linking impulse through which they sing as one...
