Re: [TANGO-L] Dancing The Classics

[Igor Polk <ipolk @VIRTUAR.COM>]

I was born in a common family of the most low class origin. My parents could
not educate me about music at all. They did not know it. All they were able
to listen to  - simplistic melodies from TV.

May be not surprisingly I came to love of the classical music through
popular between youngsters hard rock. Sometimes rock musicians make
something which reflects simple classical music. And fans said
"OOOOOOUUUUUUHHHHHH, is it so Cooooooooooool!!!!!"
So, I have not stopped, and started to listen to real classical music,
contrary to my school friends who never overcame the barrier.

I immensely enjoy classical music now.
I put it on when I work. This is the only music I am now able to listen when
I work.

And I never put tango on.

Because I can not stand it!

Because I can not work while it is playing!

Because I jump into dance.

Tango music ( classical, before 1952 ) is magical. The more I listen to it
the more I can feel.. I do not understand how it was possible to create such
music, which is so dense, so reach, the more I listen to it the more I
deepen into it..

It was some sort of God's blessing upon Argentina to make so much of such
incredible music, which we can actually dance too. It brings us up, with
every minute, with every dance.
Holy music!

PS. Thank you Hyla. I just came from my favorite milonga where there were no
piece after 1952. I am such hyper now. And it was so pleasant to find your
fabulous letter!!!
