Five Tango Sensations is a suite of works (Asleep—Loving—Anxiety—Despertar—Fear) for bandoneón and string quartet written in 1989 by Argentine composer Ástor Piazzolla. It was premiered in New York that year and recorded immediately afterwards by the Kronos Quartet and the composer, who played the bandoneón.

Allan Kozinn, reviewing the compositions for The New York Times after their premiere in New York in 1989, called them "a set of charmingly melodic tangos in which the group supplied an accompaniment to the composer's urbane performances on the accordionlike bandoneon." Adam Greenberg remarks in his review on Allmusic that "Piazzolla plays his heart out on his trusty bandoneon, and the Kronos players accompany to perfection." Michael Barrett, in the San Antonio Express-News, calls it a "work of tragic beauty." - Wikipedia

Listening to "A Dark Flaring: Works for String Quartet from South Africa" performed by Signum Quartet on Qobuz. Fantastic modern string quartet music, I really want to discover more like that.

Extreme metal and string quartets, that's my jam, I guess.
