Summary: gorgeous
Comment: before I was a tanguera, this music was great "dinner/evening music," very rich; heartfelt and elevating. You'll feel like your in Paris, or Buenos Aires, even if you've never been there.

once learned argentine tango, it's even more wonderful. I have not had the opportunity to interpret any of this music with my feet yet... but cannot wait until that day!

Summary: tango 5 estrelas
Comment: Trata-se de um belíssima coletânea de grandes standards do tango tradicional, executada com criatividade por gente de primeiro time, mas sem fazer concessões a modismos eletrônicos e quetais.

Summary: A trip through the new and old tango
Comment: A trip to new and old tango by a trio of giants. Rodolfo Mederos's bandoneon is superb. Recommended.

Summary: One-dimensional tango
Comment: While the technical aspects of this recording are beyond question, the nostalgic point of view the performers have chosen transforms these beautiful tangos in whinny pieces.... Tango is about melancholy, that's true, but it's also about machismo, and lacks anything but power.

These fine interpretations are nice to listen to as background music, but don't convey the power of the tango, and so, I must recommend anything else if you are looking for an introduction to this complex music. Piazzola's original pieces, for example, will knock your socks off, compared to the interpretations featured here. The only song I found to be worth on its own, is not a tango, but a beautiful danza by Alberto Ginastera. I have heard many versions of that song and this one is my favourite one by far....

Summary: Kneel in the Church of Tango
Comment: There may not be candles or pews or stain glass windows, but the realm of Tango has become an object of reverence for many. Most people have only heard the orchestral versions of this type of music and that is unfortunate. The original tango was a song - not a dance.

ALthough Piazzolla has made Tango accessible for the masses (and transformed it into a new creature in the process) it is Gardel and Salgan who hearken back to the roots of the movement. These are sultry tones, languid, erotic, passionate and exquisite. It is almost impossible to select any one as a favorite so I'll conclude that they all deserve a prize.
