I don't know this album at all - only got it once from the library some time ago. Very impressive, just listening on the laptop in optimised state - as an exercise in exploring imaging, a very good example, with myriad inner spaces as well as extremely expansive, overarching "global" space, with tremendous variety from track to track.

Five Tango Sensations - Kronos Quartet with Astor Piazzolla

 

[NorthSky]

I love Tango music, and dance, and the music of Astor Piazzolla.

I love Tango music, and dance, and the music of Astor Piazzolla.

I would recommend The Central Park Concert if you don't know it. Live, spirited, on Chesky, I like it the best of the Piazzolla recordings I have.

"Directing four other fine musicians was the bandoneon of Piazzolla himself - asserting, elaborating, cajoling, and crooning in a way only possible for this instrument with a 'surrealistic life.' A life mirroring the self-acknowledged surrealism of the life of the man playing it - a man who nonetheless succeeded in identifying and speaking to the reality within everyone who heard his music. Astor Piazzolla's The Central Park Concert is a delight verging on pure brilliance."

Reviews

"This 1987 live concert from New York's Central Park is dynamic, passionate, turbulent, and poignant The quintet plays with razor-sharp precision and complete empathy. If you haven't heard Piazzolla's remarkably heartfelt music, there is no better introduction than this CD."

Not sure I like it as well as her other work but this track is nice.
