YO-YO MA SOUL OF THE TANGO Limited Numbered Translucent Red 180gram Audiophile Vinyl LP
Overview:
Inspired by a great passion for Astor Piazzolla's tango, Soul Of The Tango is a critically acclaimed and essential work of the “Nuevo Tango”, played by Yo-Yo Ma's world famous cello and many of Piazzolla's former friends and colleagues. Piazzolla's old guitarists Sergio and Odair Assad even showed up to work on a pair of tracks arranged by Sergio: the “Tango Suite” (consisting of “Andante” and “Allegro”).
The album begins with “Libertango”, a composition from Piazzolla's first album that became the theme song for the movie The Tango Lesson. Following is the pair of tracks in the “Tango Suite” from Sergio Assad. Then comes “Sur: Regreso al Amor”, a softer work, though with some definite virtuosity displayed. “Le Grand Tango” is an eleven minute tour de force in the tango. “Tango Remembrances” is a particularly nice work, due to the appearance of Piazzolla's own playing. “Milonga del Angel” is a seemingly sentimental work that shows off Piazzolla's ability to express the emotions of a song perfectly and purely. To finish the album, Ma presents “Café 1930”, a rather slow paced work, but again, as in the previous song, expresses emotion very fully in its nostalgia.
Soul Of The Tango is a 25th anniversary edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on translucent red coloured vinyl and includes an insert.
