If you don’t know Piazzolla, you’re in for a treat. Bandoneon genius, composer, arranger, bandleader – he pretty much invented the modern tango and it don’t get better than this. It’s a rough “best of” that leaves out a few favorites but nevertheless manages to be a good sampling of his music. It’s all so damned good, you can’t go wrong with any track. Watch for applause. *1. Too short. A dark, kind of restless sound. Very cool. 2. Delicious, slow/midtempo, romantic. Applause at end. *3. Varying tempos trip & halt overall a sense of longing. Applause. 4. Lush, lyrical duet w/Mulligan on sax. Jazzy, mostly midtempo. 5. Lots of strings, piano. Mostly midtempo. 6. An epic. Starts slow, almost classical, gets faster, more modern. *7. Like a movie theme. Dramatic, sweeping, very cinematic. 8. Tragic, fragile, delicate. Lovely and so very, very sad. *9. Another lush, cinematic sound. Strong w/lots of strings/piano. 10. Bright, great strings. Lyrical, mostly midtempo. *11. A quirky sound, tripping but melodic. Midtempo. 12. Vocals by Roberto Gooyeneche. Romantic but sad. 13. A French café feel. Sweet, slow & much too short. *14. Ode to his father. At times jazzy, mournful, lively. Applause | ||
