The Salonorchester Schwanen holds a clear position: no trumpets, no jazz saxophone phrases in the place of two clarinets, a flute and a string group. From the wide range of light music of the early twentieth century it has therefore chosen not the music drawing inspiration from jazz, but, as a focal point, music of the same period influenced by the tango. In short, it is a matter of the dream of the south, where, south of the Alps, there are always blue skies and we can be entranced by the Blue Tango from Dark Eyes. It actually has almost come to the point where we let ourselves be carried away by associations and no longer ask about the composers. Yet their lives were often colorful enough.
