About

The fourth Supraphon album by the 21-year-old performer Daniel Matejča brings a change of genre. Following virtuosic sonatas by Eugène Ysaÿe (2023), a chamber music album with pianist Jan Schulmeister (Suk, Martinů, Fišer, 2025), and exciting concertos by Shostakovich and Prokofiev with the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra and Tomáš Netopil (2025), the focus now turns to tango nuevo, inseparably associated with Astor Piazzolla.

Besides the Argentine tango, his language as a composer reflects not only the contemporary classical music he studied in Paris under Nadia Boulanger, but also jazz and especially the music of Bach, which Piazzolla played on the bandoneon to the surprise of many people. On a map, Piazzolla would lie along an imaginary axis between Buenos Aires, Paris, and New York. It may well have been this breadth of inspiration that captivated Daniel Matejča, who plays piano and percussion as well as violin (not to mention the wide range of genres he performs) and the exceptional accordion player Martin Šulc, whose palette of colours ranges from intimacy to an almost orchestra fullness at times.

Their flawless ensemble is a given; what is more striking is the degree of freedom and expressivity they bring to it. Both suites (Suite del Ángel, Histoire du Tango) contain clearly audible echoes of Piazzolla's studies in Paris. Of course, the album could not omit Ave Maria, Oblivion, Escualo, and Finale, irresistible works that alone would be enough to secure Piazzolla's immortality. This recording by two young musicians captivated by the Argentine legend may well contribute to that lasting legacy.
