(SHOW DURATION IS 7.30PM-9.30PM)
When Australian classical mandolinist Ruth Roshan was introduced to live Argentinean Tango in Paris at the age of 23, she was hooked.
Now, with her quintet, Tango Noir she has recorded four albums of melodic Tango inspired pieces and songs, and gathered an exceptional group of musicians around her in the process.
An engaging storyteller, Ruth transports listeners through moonlit scenes of waltzes on cobblestones and rain drenched embraces.
Their self-titled debut album was released in August 2009, featuring fresh arrangements of classic pieces by Astor Piazzolla, contemporary tango adaptations of Leonard Cohen and Macy Gray, plus Ruth's own original compositions for the genre.
Their second all original album, "Darling ... Keep it to Yourself",uses the rhythms of the cabaret, the Tango, the Habanera, the Waltz, to infuse the album with an atmosphere of 1930s Berlin.
Their third, original album, "Stories of Love and Regret".
Influenced by European tango and waltz, evoking the atmosphere of a 1930’s French Salon, this recording combines lush arrangements with Ruth’s bittersweet lyrics to create music which is both elegant and beautiful, new and nostalgic all at the same time.
The album was CD of the week or equivalent on at least 7 radio stations, a finalist in the Music Victoria Awards. In 2021 a track was a finalist in Madeby (National composition and choreography competition) and, as such, has been distributed for use in the Royal Academy of Dance.
In 2023 she released a new album for expanded ensemble, Ruth Roshan and Chamber Noir.
Named Suite Noir and featuring piano, strings, accordion, clarinet, oboe, vocals, and of course, classical mandolin, the album transports listeners through moonlit scenes of waltzes on cobblestones and rain drenched embraces.
They are regular performers at the Paris Cat Jazz Club and Melbourne Recital Centre (Salon).
"Like watching Marlene Dietrich ... its music that’s sort of underrepresented anywhere in the world. Ruth was just an engaging, storytelling front person. The audience loved it and the musicians were just so compatible.”
Billy Pinnell (on PBS FM)
Special guest Philip Arkinstall on Clarinet for this special show.
