"Argentineans are rightfully proud of their musical heritage. The tango spread across the globe as a dance sensation and has a staying power like few others before or since. Astor Piazzolla is one of the modern masters responsible for the international ... Full Descriptionpopularity of this sensuous dance. Although his compositions reveal a sophisticated understanding of counterpoint and harmony, the tango is a celebration of more non-intellectual human pursuits. Emotional and erotic, Piazzolla's compositions tell stories of sadness and sensuality, isolation and love. "La Muerte del Angel," part of a suite of seven pieces composed in the early 1960s, is an achingly beautiful ode to a dying angel. "Melod¡a" is one of Piazzolla's last pieces--the composer died before giving it a name. This disc also includes pieces by Bernardo Stalman, also a native Argentinean." I say: "Good record!"
