Editorial Reviews

If you want to find out if you'll enjoy this collection of guitar transcriptions, listen to track 7, the "Military Tap" by Mariano Mores. If you can resist the ingenuity of the arrangement and the verve of the performance, this disc is not for you. For further evidence, try track 13, Astor Piazzolla's "Midnight in Buenos Aires," an amazing example of Villadangos's imagination as an arranger. This guitarist, who comes from Buenos Aires himself, has obviously absorbed the tango tradition and idiom completely. You might think guitar solo arrangements would be disappointing, lacking the inherent color of the typical tango band. Not so in this exhilarating collection, which also juxtaposes internationally known tango composers like Piazzolla and Carlos Gardel with others much less well known. Villadangos also supplies his own helpful program notes for this completely satisfying, memorable recital. --Leslie Gerber

5.0 out of 5 stars OLE, June 7, 2004

By	GEORGE RANNIE "GWRJWMCL" (DENVER, COLORADO United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is a wonderful album of acoustic guitar music. I've always loved the Tango and the so-called "classical" guitar. This album brings them together delightfully. The album transports me to a smoke-filled Argentinean nightclub where the Tango is danced very passionately. I agree with the review to this album; tract 13 is wonderful.
If you are into the Tango or guitar music or just want to be transported, in your mind, to a different time and place, buy this disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the BEST guitar cds ever!, December 26, 2006

By	Ivan Ivanov (CA USA) - See all my reviews

This is by far one of the best guitar CDs and the best performance I have ever heard. So far I have 3 cds from Villadangos and they are all brilliant. Strongly recommended!

1.0 out of 5 stars no item...no review!, June 5, 2009

By	Martin Magi - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well, it's been excactly a month and no sign of the ordered item...I submitted a 're-order' and will wait an dsee what happens.
It is pretty obvious that one has to be very careful of 'from whom and where' one orders. The promise of 7 to 14 day delivery means nothing.
...still awaiting, mm
