Piazzolla composed his Suite del Ángel as incidental music for the 1962 play Tango del ángel by Alberto Rodriguez Muñoz. In the play an angel heals the spirits of the residents of a shabby Buenos Aires neighborhood, but is ultimately killed in a knife fight.
One of the greatest tango masters of all time, Piazzolla revolutionized the tango genre. What once was considered dance music, in the hands of Piazzolla became one of the most important expressions of Argentinian concert music. His vision for the “Nuevo Tango” took what once was seeing as club dance music into some of the most prestigious concert halls of the world.
