It was Astor Piazzolla(1921-1992) who put Argentinian tango on the international map, presenting it as an artform worthy of serious consideration as much for the strength of its structure as well as for its searing emotional content. “We in El Ultimo Tango believe that Piazzolla was one of the greatest composers of the 20th century, and try to play his music with a very innovative approach, respecting of course the real essence of his music”.
Of the tracks on this CD the most famous is the haunting and poignantAdios Nonino and the splendidly romantic Oblivión.
