 | Tango: Zero Hour [Read More ...]
Description: Astor Piazzolla lived and died as tango's bad boy, having almost single handedly invented the music's vanguard, the form known as tango nuevo. It took Piazzolla decades to reach his unequivocal apex, which is captured flawlessly on Tango Zero Hour. When this recording was cut in ... |

Review: gorgeous:before I was a tanguera, this music was great "dinner/evening music," very rich; heartfelt and elevating. You'll feel like your in Paris, or Buenos Aires, even if you've never been there.
once learned argentine tango, it's even more wonderful. I have not had the opport... |
 | The Rough Dancer and the Cyclical Night (Tango Apasionado) [Read More ...]
exceptional:On a level with Miles Davis' Kind of Blue and I probably wouldn't have purchased it if it weren't for Al Di Meola's Play's Piazolla. Like Kind of Blue, Rough Dancer is far more than the sum of it's parts. Worth owning even if you aren't into tango music. |

Barenboim Tango Argentino:Even though the quality of the music and the video itself is good, it was defective. It stops playing at the 10th track.
I liked it and for this reason I have requested a replacement.Tango Argentina [DVD Video] |

Review: Musical grandeur:The other reviewers have given this disc it's due superlatives and I would have to concurr, it is sublime. You will not find a more beautiful, rhythmic or enchanting piece of music. As soothing as it is invigorating the guitar work is a marvel. I play this disc c... |

Review: Shadows of the night or memories of the tango!:
The egregious importance of Astor Piazolla (died on July 5,1992) in the musical landscape is day by day regaining more and more adepts all around the world. And this fact should not surprise us at all, because he was one of the most... |
 | Lagq: Latin [Read More ...]
Description: Latin, the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet's homage to the music of Latin America and Spain, opens weakly with a tune called "Fragile," a bit of melodic fluff composed by Sting. After that's safely out of the way, however, the four virtuosos go on to play much more satisfying works by... |
 | Piazzolla: Five Tango Sensations [Read More ...]
Description: This "EP" (about 27:00) contains just one work and sells for a reduced price. Astor Piazzolla wrote this music for himself to play with the Kronos Quartet. People who don't know Piazzolla's music might think this is just a collection of dances. But Piazzolla did for the tango wh... |
 | Astor Piazzolla: The Central Park Concert [Read More ...]
Review: absolutely mind-blowing:One of the most beautiful recording I ever listened to... piazzolla or others. His music synthesizes the deepest spirit of Buenos Aires and the argentinian culture. His musicians are all virtuosos and exceptionally interpret the dirty, dragged, dark, nost... |
 | Astor Piazzola: Next Tango [Read More ...]
Review: Symphonic Piazzolla:Part of the problem reviewing an Astor Piazzolla DVD is that one is tempted to give it five stars merely because it exists. Though Piazzolla lived and performed into the early 1990s, there seems to be precious few concert films extant. If more are in the vault... |

Review: addicted to Piazzolla:I am just reading the Piazzolla's splendid biography which had enabled me to have a better understanding of his compositions and given me an appreciation of his individuality.
The music is intoxicating and powerful to anyone addicted to the rhythm of tango. ... |

 | A Passion for Tango: Authentic Tangos From Argentina [Read More ...]
Review: Tango at its best:Sexteto Mayor has moved the old tango to today's music values, without loosing the essence of the tango, the 2x4 rythm. It combines then two things, highly professionally executed music with the virtues of the Argentine tango. A perfect combination. Even if you ... |
 | Astor Piazzolla: El Tango [Read More ...]
Review: The worst of Kremer's Piazzolla recordings:The title of this recording is misleading because only eight of the eleven pieces were actually written by Piazzolla. And, those of you that like your music sans vocals, you will be disappointed to learn that two of the eight pieces by... |
 | Unknown Piazzolla [Read More ...]
Review: Brilliant collection:The Unknown Piazzolla is a brilliant collection of never-recorded music by the great master. The Sonata Op. 7 would not have been out of place as the output of Bartok. The Suites as well as the other works show the talent of pianist Allison Brewster Franze... |

Music for Two Guitars:Very Good. The receiver could not have picked a better selection
Thank You |
 | Four Seasons of Buenos Aires [Read More ...]
Piazzolla brazillian version:Only Astor Piazzolla could equal himself. A bandoneon virtuoso playing his own works, nobody could do better than him. However Four Seasons of Buenos Aires deserves a place of honour in the cd collection of Piazzolla's fans. |
