STRATA reflects the multi-layered emotional and musical complexity of Giraudo’s compositions. The album’s title, which refers to geologic layers, mirrors the depth, intricate textures, and varied stylistic influences in Giraudo’s music. “Pedro’s music is elemental and dynamic. It offers a contemporary take on the drama and pathos of the tango tradition expressed through the complex harmonic language and improvisatory freedom of jazz, rigorously framed within classically-inspired structures, and utilizing the richly varied timbral resources of the orchestra.

The Pedro Giraudo Tango Quartet acts as a solo group within the orchestra, performing with world class virtuosity and artistry,” said Nell Flanders, Conductor and Artistic Director of the Idaho State-Civic Symphony.

The tracks on Strata showcase the depth and diversity of Pedro Giraudo’s compositions. “Momento de Conquista” stands out for its connection to rural folk music, rather than tango, evoking moments of personal triumph. “Dartmouth,” which began as a simple melody inspired by Giraudo’s time at Dartmouth College, evolves into a more complex piece, incorporating a dramatic piano cadenza that deepens its emotional intensity. “Con un Nudo en la Garganta,” a favorite among Giraudo’s fans, draws on the raw emotion of tango, reflecting a moment of deep personal feeling. Each track on the album reveals layers of musical and emotional intricacy, reflecting the album’s title and offering listeners a rich, multifaceted experience.
