5.0 out of 5 stars
best tango CD,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tango: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
When you listen to this CD, you will be surprised by the fact that the overall style of the music resembles that of Piazzolla. That's because the composer, Lalo Schifrin, was one of Piazzolla's pianist. Schifrin's style is a bit less dramatic and the overall tone is soft. I think this was done purposely to make tango pieces suitable for the movie. If you are a Piazzolla fan, you will like this CD.

A Sultry and Seductive Masterpiece,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tango: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
With the name Lalo Schifrin attached to this CD, I was a little sceptical about the authenticity of the music I would find within. You see, I had always associated Schifrin's name with movie and television scores, and although he once played with my musical hero Astor Piazzolla, I had premonitions that this would be more glitzy and commercial than I cared for. I couldn't have been more wrong. Schifrin did a masterful job in assembling the right musicians and getting the right sounds from them for the periods the songs represented. He even contributed a few of his own compositions, several of which I enjoy very much: Tango del Atardecer, Tango Lunaire, and the powerful La Represion, so evocative of Argentina's years of dictatorship. Horacio Salgan appears and plays several of his own classic compositions and just to listen to his nimble-fingered piano play is a treat not to be missed. The Tango soundtrack is a very well-balanced CD replete with new renderings of beloved classics interspersed judiciously with more modern compositions. If you like tango as much as I do, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of this very sultry and seductive masterpiece.

Mesmerizing,
By
This review is from: Tango: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
If you haven't watched the movie...watch it you will be mesmerized....much of which is the responsibility of Lalo Schifrin's music. I watched the movie last night...and I can still feel the haunting measures marrauding through my brain. Damn, there is so much great music in the world & so little time & money to absorb it all in....this is a great purchase.
