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.

A mixture of jazz and tango to my ear.Aug 04, 2007 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!
Piazzolla, el mejor tangueroApr 11, 2007 Es un deleite de sonido, brillante, inteligente, genial Tango de un maestro, música que viene del corazón... ¿puede haber algo mas sentido?

greatJan 28, 2007 The best album by piazzolla I have played. the violin playing by antonio agri on milonga del angel is the very best and really captures the tango. My only regret is that the album did not include oblivion.
