Soul of the Tango: The Music of Astor Piazzolla ReviewYo Yo Ma has always been the frontrunner when it comes to experiencing new water in music. In this fantastic collection of Astor Piazzolla's best known tangos, Ma's breathtaking technique fuses w/ other instrumentalists, who happen to be Piazzolla's closest colleagues when he was alive. Instead of obtruding w/ his virtuous play on the cello, Ma's cello plays the role of a coordinator as he seams soul into the ensemble w/ a wide range of instruments. Yet always in concordance and an odd sense of balance, this recording exhilerates its listeners, and plus the video bonus that enables listeners to observe Ma's playing in the midst of tango dancers, even the dullest classical lovers would want to jump up and forsake the atmosphere of tradition. I highly recommended Fugota, with zesty hight notes of violin with Ma's ambiguous spiccato, this track is a seductive force that sweeps you off your feet. The curves, the turns, the surprises of tango are so cantagious that you cannot turn your heart away from this charmer.Soul of the Tango: The Music of Astor Piazzolla Overview

Astor Piazzolla Unmixed ReviewThe muse of Astor Piazzolla was so profound that fans may never get a chance to hear every note he recorded, but Unmixed is another step in the direction of completeness.
When I shop for CDs, I always look to see if there is any "new" Piazzolla on the shelf. The last couple times I haven't been disappointed.
Unmixed offers some cuts like "Vuelvo Al Sur" that are familiar to me, but the vast majority of the 14 pieces are arrangements I have not heard before. Several are performed by musicians who were members of APs many musical formations.
I like the entire CD. Since no song list is provided, I will list them. The titles will be largely familiar to AP connoisseurs, but the arrangements should be deliciously new to many of us.
1)Doble Concierto para Bandoneon, Guitarra, y Orquesta de Cuerdos "Hommage a Liege" Tango.
2)Vuelvo Al Sur
3)El Tango
4)Luna
5)El Viaje
6)Milonga del Angel
7)Milonga
8)Revirado
9)Tanguedia III
10)Verano Porteno
11)Resurreccion del Angel
12)Calambre
13)Ballada Para Mi Muerte (with Beatriz Suarez Paz on vocals)
and
14)Duo de Amor
Don't hesitate, order this group of more Piazzolla gems today! You won't be disappointed.Astor Piazzolla Unmixed Overview

Astor Piazzolla: Histoire du Tango ReviewMany people have asked me why I buy the music of Astor Piazzolla as performed by others when I already own so much by El Troesma himself. The answer is simple: I love the music of Piazzolla so much that I enjoy hearing any interpretations of it by virtuoso musicians almost as much as I enjoy listening to the originals. Since Piazzolla's death, his music has become regarded as almost neo-classical and in some circles nearly sacred. Starting with Gidon Kremer and Al DiMeola, there has since been a virtual stampede of musicians racing to put his/her own interpretations of Piazzolla before the listening public.
I bought Histoire du Tango solely because it was brought to my attention here on amazon, it seemed interesting and most importantly, it is Piazzolla. I had never heard of guitarist Maria Isabel Siewers or of violinist Rafael Gintoli before reading of this and I was quite prepared for possible disappointment. Suffice to say that delight was my reaction instead upon listening the first time.
This is truly an exquisite package. Though it took several listens before I became entirely comfortable with all the renditions here, I am now utterly convinced of its quality and merit. The duo covers the now obligatory 20 minute Histoire du Tango sequence first introduced by Piazzolla in the mid-80s. It also covers much that is rarely heard such as the melancholy Chiquilin de Bachin, the bittersweet Chau Paris, and the delicate Valsisimo. A special treat is Cinco Piezas, a rare delight which I have not heard covered before. Add in standards Escualo, Milonga En Re, and my personal Piazzolla favorite Soledad and you have the ingredients for one terrific album best listened to with no distractions.
The CD comes with a booklet in English, French, and German (but for some reason not Spanish) that contains short biographies of Siewers and Gintoli as well as commentary on Piazzolla and the tango. If you love the music of Astor Piazzolla as I do, then Histoire du Tango certainly deserves a place in your CD library.Astor Piazzolla: Histoire du Tango Overview

Rustic Chivalry ReviewI first heard Quartetto Gelato on National Public Radio, playing live on "Talk of the Nation" a few years back and was immediately impressed. I am a rock musician/songwriter, but I have dabbled in opera thanks to my parents' involvement with a local opera company. It was great to hear the music of Cavalleria Rusticana, as I was in the opera back in the 60's as a child of 10years or so. It brought back nice memories. I beleive most of QG's works are well-thought, well-executed, and sometimes humorously presented, or should I say "playfully presented"? Many "Bravos!!!" to Quartetto Gelato from one musician to another. Get any album by this group. They always have great and clever interpretations of classic pieces. You will not be disappointed!Rustic Chivalry Overview

Tango Argentino ReviewThis is a wonderful album of acoustic guitar music. I've always loved the Tango and the so-called "classical" guitar. This album brings them together delightfully. The album transports me to a smoke-filled Argentinean nightclub where the Tango is danced very passionately. I agree with the review to this album; tract 13 is wonderful.
If you are into the Tango or guitar music or just want to be transported, in your mind, to a different time and place, buy this disc.Tango Argentino Overview

Old and New Fangled Tangos / Folk Songs Around the World ReviewThe soaring strings of the original orchestra led by the late great Mantovani are once again presented in this brand new Vocalion release of two of the maestro's masterpiece recordings first released in 1964 (Folk Songs) and 1968 (Tango). Folk Songs from Around the World will charm and excite listeners with melodies as diverse as Aura Lee (what Elvis sang as Love Me Tender) and the sizzling sounds of Hava Nagila. The highly disciplined orchestra under the baton of Mantovani perform spectacular arrangements of "Two Guitars" from Russia and folk songs from Japan, Europe,and the British Isles arranged with such artistry that they will readily evoke from each listener intense emotions. The splendid orchestrations found on the Tango tracks also evoke a variety of emotions, with Whatever Lola Wants, Hernando's Hideaway and Takes Two to Tango, offering playful amusement, and such tracks as Blue Sky, Orange Vendor, and Tango Delle Rose combining captivating tango rhythms with time honored melodies made ever more delightful by the unique, cathedral sound identified exclusively with Mantovani. In an interview at the time of the Tango album's release, the ever perfectionist Mantovani expressed his delight with the musical outcome,noting that he tried "blending fine melodies with exciting rhythms to produce a sound that is stimulating.." Acquire this two CD-set, and new and old Mantovani fans will know the maestro was right on the mark in his assessment of this incomparable musical journey.Old and New Fangled Tangos / Folk Songs Around the World Overview
