Additional Astor Piazzolla - The Soul Of Tango: Greatest Hits Information
|
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.

What Customers Say About Astor Piazzolla - The Soul Of Tango: Greatest Hits:
|

Astor Piazzola is one of the greatest contemporary tango composers. The more traditional lovers of tango might turn their noses up at me for liking "tango electronico," but I urge others to check it out. I first learned of the beauty of tango while studying in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A friend introduced me to Astor Piazzola among other great tango names: Carlos Gardel, Anibal Troilo, etc. Amazon also offers such music by Gotan Project or in compilations such as the "Tango Chillout Sessions." The cd I received was in great shape and arrived in a timely fashion. I encourage fellow customers to frequent this business.
A lot of people cover his compositions. Simply put, I love this CD. Hearing these songs, many which are live (and awesome) was very enjoyable. I never really doubted that I wouldn't enjoy it though. I had heard of Astor from listening to some Nu Tango albums. I'd definitely recommend this CD to anyone who wants to hear some tango (nuevo tango). A+.
I enjoy this CD very much. The music is so original. It takes me to a different time and place every time I listen to it.
Any tango or classical music lovers will really appreciate this 2-disc cd. I highly recommend it.
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.
