Here’s a pic from my gig with the Quint Quintet, playing in El Paso, TX. All Piazzolla! Last show was sold out (see stage seats). Really fun!
“But the Aranjuez was the real jewel of the evening and here the orchestra was at its best. Oren Fader was the perfect soloist–steeped in the complexities of new music, he threw light on both the technical and the expressive, showing the strength and dignity in both, and turning what could easly have been a run-of-the-mill event into something captivating and exquisite.”
“As the soloist for Spanish composer JoaquÃn Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez,†guitarist Oren Fader made a valuable contribution to the program. After a sunny take on its active opening, his expressively played “Adagio†movement took on the vulnerable character of a song of loss or longing while maintaining its bravado, with fine playing from the NJSO.”
