4.0 out of 5 stars Tango for EARS rather than the FEET..., July 28, 2006

This disc is not for those expecting ballroom danceable tango routines. Instead conductor/arranger Peter Breiner uses elements of jazz and pop to create modernistic mini-tango tone poems. The flautist carries most of the melody, while speckles of jazz trumpet add spice to each selection. The full orchestra bloom adds warmth. The natural tango instruments of piano(again Breiner)and accordion at least try to keep things somewhat authentic. The Slavonic NAXOS company orchestra seems to be enjoying the unusual foreign repertoire, giving us a pleasant light listening experience.

Expect plenty of Latin delights if you listen to this CD, but the production of the CD could have gone better. They watered down the Piazzolla works, and they flooded this tango extravaganza with too much flute solo. Not bad for a Bohemian orchestra attempting Argentine tango, but I prefer ensembles from South America to delight me with that naughty naughty music from Buenos Aires!
