Listening to this music brings a lot of warm memories back, my mother and grandmother young and beautiful, listening, singing. Yes, it doesn't have the sharpness of new recordings, but Libertad Lamarque's voice is clear and melodious, the feelings and the passion come through and the nostalgic and sentimental music touches within.

Libertad Lamarque has a beautiful voice that is full of emotion. When you listen to her sing you are taken to the "place" she is at. I and my mother enjoy her music very much and am looking forward to acquiring more of her music. Please offer more of her music. Thank you

This fabulous actress and singer is an Argentine treasure. She sings with such passion and sincerity, and her sparkling voice (even though these recordings are from many years ago) sounds crystal clear and full of life.

Her rendition of "Nostalgias" is wonderful, as is "La Cumparsita", and the spoken section of "Inspiración" will give you a glimpse of what a luminous presence she was on film. Though I confess, I don't normally appreciate the female voice, Libertad Lamarque holds a special place in my heart and in my CD collection.

I swore that I wrote a review on this before but Amazon listed the product as unreviewed. Lucky I had a copy on my computer :)

Ahh, how to review a cd of music from a less than mainstream genre. I can tell you that if you love Spanish music and appreciate the romantic style of the tango then this cd will be enjoyable.

Try a little historical information from Wikipedia about the singer and be intrigued: "Libertad Lamarque (November 24, 1908 - December 12, 2000) was an Argentine actress and singer who became famous in Latin America while working in Mexican cinema." More of her story can be found on the Wikipedia site.

After reading her story, preview her songs courtesy of amazon and be taken on a journey to Argentina. Overall, a wonderful cd.

Libertad Lamarque will always be in the memory of those who have listened to her or seen her work as an actress. This album is a really golden collection of her "tango" singing. Once you listen to her, you'll play this CD over and over again.

I've had Libertad Lamarque's album Tangos Imortales on vinyl since my mother gave it to me as a birthday present in 1975. In fact I live near the street where the now defunct record shop where mom bought it was! I was thrilled to hear this fine LP is available now on CD. To be honest, I didn't listen to the CD since I know all the songs by heart and it's in mono anyway. Did you know in the TV movie Evita Peron Rita Moreno's charcter was based on Libertad Lamarque? Her legendary battles with star-turned-politcian Eva Peron got her exiled to Mexico. Argetntina's loss is the world's gain. I especially liked the male vocalist on Cantando and Adios Muchachos later became the english language song I Get Ideas. A Media Luz is fun to listen but Plegaria is the most dramatic song on the album(as if the album needed a dramatic song) and it's not sampled on this website! Oh well!The lady died on Dec. 12 at aged 92 in Mexico City. Having worked for over 70 years she will be missed but her recordings will go on. Tangos Imortales is not to be missed by ANY music fans

This is a wonderful cd for people who love tangos...Libertad Lamarque had her own unique style and she expressed her music in a manner full of emotion and from the heart!
