5.0 out of 5 stars Y cada día canta mejor...., July 16, 2001

Sintesis absoluta del alma del tango. Porteño por eleccion y no por nacimiento. A casi 70 años de su muerte, la leyenda sigue vigente y como dicen aca en BS AS, cada día canta mejor y se lo extraña mas... En esta recopilación podemos escuchar sus mejores y mas famosos temas y soñar a Buenos Aires. Puedo pasar de Radiohead o Peter Murphy a Gardel sin sobresaltos, ya que se ve, que la belleza de la angustia y la nostalgia es tan fuerte en Londres como en BS AS. Por favor escuchen Malevaje...

5.0 out of 5 stars The best tangos from the greatest tango singer, August 27, 2005

(VINE VOICE)   

This review is from: Mejor De Rca Victor (Audio CD)

These original recordings sound of course like the oldies with some "scratching" in the background. But that's what it takes to witness listening to the first and grandest tango singer of all times, still venerated as a Tango God everywhere. His voice rolls on the tango waves, and the lyrics sound so well adjusted to the music. I realized how beautiful the lyrics of Volver were; it is the story of a coming back from exile. Those familiar with the American movie "scent of a woman" will easily recognize the music on which Al Pacino, the blind retired officer, dances with the anonymous young woman. It is "Por la Cabeza" of course. Who has never heard "la cumparsita"? It Just gives you the taste to go further, look for a ballroom dance with Argentine Tango (By respect to Carlos Gardel, no one ever dances those tangos on his voice. What a pity...). You will go on looking for information about his life story, his companion songwriter who died in the plane crash with him, you will find out tango concerts and events dedicated to him by his afficiandos, in the USA, in France, Argentina and everywhere else. And you will end up looking for a Spanish class to learn speaking it! The door to a new world will only open to you! A must to have.

Esta es una excelente coleccion de varias de las mejores canciones del mas grande interprete del tango en toda la historia. Es refrescante volver a oirlas de nuevo despues de tanto tiempo, pues nuestros LP's viejos y rayados hace años que no los oimos. Vale la pena tener este CD.
