Editorial Reviews

Product Description

10-time Grammy winner Yo-Yo Ma presents this remarkable tribute to Argentina's master of the modern tango. Recently, Astor Piazzolla's tangos have inspired a number of classical artists, but Ma's recording fully explores Piazzolla's range as a composer; his tangos and Milongas, music written for the cello and the unique "Tango Remembrances," a "duet" created with an existing track of Piazzolla on the Bandoneon. Other musicians include members of Piazzolla's quintet and Brazilian guitarists Sergio & O'Dair Assad.

Amazon.com

Yo-Yo Ma might seem like an unlikely protagonist for the tango, but this intrepid musical explorer has taken his task seriously, collaborating with experienced tango musicians. Ma even participates in a posthumous collaboration with one 1987 Piazzolla recording. Furthermore, while he's obviously the headliner here, he doesn't dominate the arrangements nearly as much as he does the billing and photography of the disc. While the result isn't your essential Piazzolla album (that would have to include more of the composer's own playing), it's an atmospheric and convincing collection, perhaps a good introduction for those who don't know the music. --Leslie Gerber

Amazing Tango in Yo-Yo Ma style

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2009

Verified Purchase

I originally purchased this CD because I like Yo-Yo Ma's music, and wanted to expand my collection. Not knowing much about tango, neither being a fan of it, I still decided to purchase the CD, merely because of Ma's Cello work.

The minute I inserted the disc in my computer's CD-ROM, I was HOOKED! It's unbelievably good, even for those who have no exposure to or knowledge of tango music.

After a few listens, one becomes familiar with the rhythm of the songs and wishes to stand up and dance. Ma's expressive playing style, along with the tango music and variety of instruments and style, capture the listener, and can do either of these: help you concentrate, relax, work and study OR it will make you want to get up and start dancing tango, even if you never have before. There are songs for love, romance, relaxing and spending time with some friends while having a bottle of wine or to set the atmosphere for a calm setting during dinner and/or after.

Here is my opinion in a nutshell: If you listen to Yo-Yo Ma, do yourself a favor and BUY this CD! You will NOT be disappointed.

I am 28 years old, and have never before listen to tango. I thought that was for grandma and grandpa; as I don't know anyone young enough who listens to tango. This music, this CD has changed the way I think about tango, and has broadened my musical horizons.

Wonderful music, pity about the postal service!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2010

Verified Purchase

The CD is wonderful, am enjoying it greatly.
However, the padded bag in which it came had been slashed - with a sharp blade - deeply, right into the casing of the disc. I was very, VERY upset, but didn't have time to mess around explaining it to Amazon, or whoever.....as was leaving on biz trip the next day.
I play the disc, but am annoyed at the damage to its cover. I very much doubt that the damage happened here, in the UK.....I believe that it happened in transit from the USA - they are paranoid about stuff in the post. Or, it was some criminally minded US postal employee seeing if the disc was worth stealing - being classical, he/she didn't want it !!!
I wonder if anyone from Amazon will read this?
And, if they do, if they even care?
Probably not.........
Anyway, Yo-Yo Ma & the Tango music is excellent......

Tango with a twist

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2021

Verified Purchase

Yo Yo Ma is a brilliant cellist and brings a new dimension to the soundscape of tango music. It felt a bit awkward at times, but by the last few pieces, I was sold on the idea. The cello yields a more sombre experience of the music, a contemplative, deeper interior. The feeling of an unrequited love, perhaps, that drives one inward.

Good Effort - Doesn't Quite Inspire

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

Yo Yo Ma and Astor Piazzolla seemed like a match made in heaven. And this album does provide competent readings of numerous Piazzolla tangos. The 1st piece, Libertango, is stimulating and inspiring. However, the rest are just ho-hum. Possibly, the arrangements for Yo Yo's Cello lack the magic of Piazzolla's original performances on Bandoleon. Maybe Yo Yo can give it another shot and do justice to this great popular composer.

A magnificent way to expand your musical horizons from typical classical or cultural music

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2007

Verified Purchase

I had been lusting after this CD for a long time, and the main reason I bought it on Amazon is that the complete CD is not available for sale through the online music retailers, such as iTunes that I typically use. What makes this such a great CD is that it takes a Cello, an instrument that most people associate with Bach or large orchestras, and allows the instrument, through the talented playing of world-acclaimed cellist Yo-Yo Ma, to create beautiful, melodic and cultural music so passionately that at times one might mistake it for a human voice. The CD contains a very healthy variety of songs, and makes a valuable addition to any connoisseur's collection.

Jazz/Soul of the Tango explored with overwhelming creative sucess.

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

Pure Jazz, based on the Tango and genius of composer Astor Piazzolla. Not warm hearted Spanish guitar solos ,interrupted by Tango dissonances as usual ; but just too damn interesting to overlook the wide explorations here of the Tango's history, and Soul; And that through the magic of some of South America's finest musicians and the incomparable Yo Yo Ma, who seems to get a fresh handle on so many kinds of music.(A Grammy winning album by the way).

Lush and Lovely

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2015

Verified Purchase

After reading "The Gods of Tango" I decided to learn more about the music that was so much a part of the novel. I knew Yo Yo Ma was an accomplished cellist and after reading the five star reviews, decided this
recording would be a good choice. I haven't been disappointed. The music is lush and lovely though not
as lively as I thought it would be. It's not exactly dance music, either, which surprised me. Still it's a wonderful additional to my collection and easy to listen to.

『Piazzollaさんの名盤』=“Maさん”に限る!

Reviewed in Japan on March 11, 2015

Verified Purchase

子供の頃,CMで聴いて感動したのが
“Piazzollaさん”の作品だった事は,
一昨年初めて知りました(←)www

あのcelloの演奏は『Maさん』であり
『Maさん』=“『Piazzollaさん』を伝えた第一人者”として
尊敬せずにはいられません!

“classics”への挑戦---。
これまでDebussyさん&Ravelさん等の“仏近代作曲家さん”,
Stravinskyさん等が挑んで来ましたが,
それでも完璧に『[壁|(･д･`｡ )))｡｡｡』は壊せずにいたのは事実です(・ω・`)

そんな壁を(良い意味で)“ぶち壊し”させ
“Tango”&“classica”を融合した『現代音楽』を開拓したのが
Piazzollaさんでした(*'∀｀*)｡♥｡
Maさんは,Piazzollaさんが紡ぎ出した個性を醸しつつ,
“東洋の魂”を込めた,本当に素敵な演奏をなさっています♪゜・
