A nice album of tango arrangements for guitar by
David Tanenbaum. The pieces are all compositions of
Astor Piazzolla, and it is something of a tribute album as such. The music is played rather well, as
Tanenbaum is one of the premier non-rock guitarists around. Arrangements of the music come from former Piazzolla guitarist
Sergio Assad,
Leo Brouwer, Augustin Carlevaro, and
Tanenbaum himself. For the pure feeling of a Piazzolla tango, one should most assuredly pick up an actual Piazzolla album for the pieces that are added in by the violins and bandoneon that are lacking here. Overall, a good bit of guitar work, but not the full tango that one would hope for. ~ Adam Greenberg
