In "Eternal Piazzolla," Del Curto honors the music of Astor Piazzolla and features his tango quintet with notable guest artist Pablo Ziegler who was Astor Piazzolla's pianist for ten years. “My relationship with Piazzolla's music had a long journey,” Del Curto explains, “My father, Luis is a tango “traditionalist" and did not accept New Tango. It was not until the age of 17, when I performed with the Astor Piazzolla Sextet and the Osvaldo Pugliese Orchestra at the Royal Theatre Carré in Amsterdam that his music emerged in my musical life.” Del Curto co-produced the album with his cellist wife, Jisoo Ok who is classically trained at The Juilliard School and a member of his tango quintet. This husband and wife duo also co-produced Del Curto's critically acclaimed debut album “Eternal Tango” released on June 18, 2007. This CD kicks off with a vigorous work, “Michelangelo 70,” which Del Curto likes to open his concerts as well, and ends with “Adiós Nonino,” a breathtaking work which Astor wrote in memory of his father, Vicente “Nonino” Piazzolla. Between those two works he explores a fusion of traditional and new tango with two Piazzolla compositions, “Zum” and “Verano Porteño,” arranged in traditional “Orquesta Típica” style. He also included Pablo Ziegler's composition “Astor Place,” which Ziegler composed as he was walking with Astor while searching for Piazzolla's old house on the lower East Side of Manhattan. There are seldom-heard works such as a bandoneón solo “Pedro y Pedro,” “Bandoneón, Guitarra y Bajo,” with guest guitarist Quique Sinesi, and “Kicho” featuring the bassist Pedro Giraudo. Tango has been in the Del Curto family since the early 1900s. Hector’s great grandfather was a bandoneonist and composer, and his grandfather, also a great bandoneon player, introduced Hector to the world of Tango and the bandoneon. By the age of 17, Hector Del Curto had won the title “Best Bandoneon Player Under 25” in Argentina, and was invited to join the orchestra of the legendary Osvaldo Pugliese, the “Last Giant of Tango.” Since then he has performed with many notable musicians from the world of Jazz, Classical and Tango, such as Astor Piazzolla, Pablo Ziegler, Paquito D’Rivera, Gary Burton, and Joe Lovano, as well as with Met Opera Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, Buenos Aires Symphony Orchestra and Orpheus Chamber Orchestra among many others.
