Synopsis

Album Description

Exclusive import-only two CD compilation from the Argentina-born master of the Tango. Piazzolla, who died in 1992, took what used to be known as Argentinean Folk Music and raised it's commercial awareness, creating a world-wide insatiable appetite for Tango music. His instrument of choice was the bandoneon, which is similar to a large accordion but much more difficult to play. His compositions have become standards in Jazz and World Music, many of which are featured here. 24 tracks including 'Adios Nonino', 'Libertango', 'Muerte Del Angel', 'Luna' and others. This slimline double jewelbox comes housed in a slipcase. WEA.

CD Reviews

A mixture of jazz and tango to my ear.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I doubt that anyone would be disappointed with this CD. Classical and jazz enthusiasts would appreciate its quality. Anyone who has visited Argentina and witnessed the tango would be even more enthusiastic, I think. I like it!"

Beautiful music, great compilation
