Per Arne Glorvigen is a Norwegian bandoneon virtuoso and composer who’s become a bridge between classical music and the fiery soul of Argentine tango. With a career steeped in both tradition and innovation, Glorvigen has collaborated with icons like Astor Piazzolla’s longtime collaborator, pianist Pablo Ziegler, and classical heavyweights such as violinist Gidon Kremer. His work often intertwines Baroque masterpieces with tango’s raw emotion, as heard in albums like *Tango Baroque* and *Virgin and Whore - Bach and Piazzolla*, showcasing his knack for reinventing classics with a modern edge.
A globetrotting artist, Glorvigen splits his time between Europe and Argentina, drawing inspiration from tango’s birthplace while pushing its boundaries. Releases like *Buenos Aires · Paris · Chicago* and *Bandoneon* highlight his technical brilliance and flair for storytelling through music. Whether performing solo or with ensembles, his style—playful, intense, and deeply lyrical—has made him a standout figure in redefining the bandoneon’s role beyond traditional tango. If you’re into genre-blurring adventures, Glorvigen’s discography is a wild ride through passion and precision.
