"This is a magical album. There is a quality in Francisco Canaro's music that I can only describe as magical. It is in a class all its own among Tango music. The sound on this particular production is excellent for the 1930s-1940s recordings. It sounds beautiful. The music brings every emotion through the tasteful and unexpected turns of the texture, melody, rhythm, and orchestration. The songs are just damn good. There is incredible subtlety and poetry in Canaro's direction of his orchestra. While other Tango orchestras need to be mixed with each other in a playlist to avoid an overdose of one style, this single CD is so rich that it can hold its own through an entire hour of practica without becoming repetitive, the dancers just going on and on. While driving in a car, a piece of music came to my mind, and I just thought, "That is enchantment --- what is that music? Why, it's my Canaro Tango CD!" I hope this production team will issue a Volume 2."
