About Astor Piazzolla - Astor Piazzolla - The Soul Of Tango: Greatest Hits

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. Album Description

Beautiful music, great compilation

Any tango or classical music lovers will really appreciate this 2-disc cd. I highly recommend it. April 9, 2008

A mixture of jazz and tango to my ear.

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! August 4, 2007

Piazzolla, el mejor tanguero

Es un deleite de sonido, brillante, inteligente, genial Tango de un maestro, música que viene del corazón... ¿puede haber algo mas sentido? April 11, 2007

great

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. January 28, 2007

He's got the soul

Piazzola must be the devil.... cause he certainly captured the soul (of tango, that is!)

Brilliant music. Exceptional CD! July 2, 2003
