This historic DVD is a document of the Orquesta Filarmónica de Bogotá's version of Benjamin Yusupov's Viola Tango Rock Concerto, hailed as 'the greatest concerto ever written for the viola' by Maxim Vengerov. Played at the Auditorio Leon of Greiff of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia on 12 June 2009, this performance, as original and striking as its 2005 world premiere, features solo performances from viola player Anibal Dos Santos on classic and electric viola, Venanzio Cipolliti on accordion, Carlos Posada on acoustic guitar, and Andres Leiva, Luis Alberto Ramirez and Carlos Andres Cortes playing rock passages. Dos Santos, leader of the OFB viola group leader since 1998, plays the classic and electric viola with great technical skill and artistic commitment, but also dances the tango during the concert, accompanied by Gina Medina, the award-winning Colombian dancer.
