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

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.
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......
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♪゜・
