"Con cierto toque de tango" was commissioned by Hugo Ticciati for oModernt in Stockholm, a festival which focuses on reflections of the musical past in the present, an agenda consistent with the composers own. The title translates to "with a certain hint of tango". Musically, there’s probably more than just a hint of tango in this concerto, considering that the movements are named after the Argentine dance forms - milonga, zamba and tango.
The concerto is written with one foot firmly planted in Norway, far away from the tango tradition. This gives the composer a certain freedom to experiment but also provides another more glaring necessity to find those moments and elements that provide the right connection to this tradition (with the other foot!). Here very well performed by Henning Kraggerud and the Norwegian Radio Orchestra.
