TANGO RHAPSODY
Guy Richards review: “Federico Jusid ‘s Tango Rhapsody is a playful concerto (…) that struck me as a vibrant, dynamically scored work with a Latin flavour, toying at times with jazz, Hollywood film scores and with a rhythmic interplay owing as much to Bartok and Stravinsky as to tango. Undeniably fun!”
