For bandoneonist and composer Denis Plante, tango evokes the old-fashioned melancholy of the bandoneon, an instrument that whispers melodies of bygone elegance. Stéphane Tétreault's Stradivarius cello infuses tango with another layer of deep vibrations.

With the new album Stradivatango, Plante presents original tango compositions including Stradivatango, Tango romance, and Ménage à trois, paired with tangos by such emblematic composers of the genre as Astor Piazzolla, Carlos Gardel, and Ángel Villoldo.

Denis Plante plays one of the celebrated doble A series bandoneons, the authentic instrument of Argentinian tango. The composer-performer is Canada's leading bandoneonist and a singular face in the world of contemporary tango. The spiritual son of Astor Piazzolla, Plante has enriched the bandoneon repertoire with hundreds of works capturing the essential pulse of tango. He has played concerts around the world, winning critical acclaim for his virtuosity and lyricism.
