Free Music Notes for Tango: Original Motion Picture SoundtrackFree Music Review: Great soundtrack with some excellent danceable tunes Hit: 5 StarsThis CD contains both some original compositions as well as re-recordings of Argentine Tango (AT) compositions. Especially these new recordings made me get the CD, since finally there is a modern arrangement of classical tunes, that doesn't simply emphasize the dramatic side of AT tunes. "Corazon de Oro" is one of my favorite recordings of this vals, "Zorro Gris" has a fascinating arrangement with a tuba as bass instrument.
Free Music Review: Truly excellent!! Hit: 5 StarsAfter seeing the movie, I got the soundtrack and fell in love with it even more than the film. The music is wonderful and has alot of different pieces that make up a solid whole. I have a good understanding of Argentine Tango history and have developed a passion for this music. I highly recommend it.
Free Music Review: A Sultry and Seductive Masterpiece Hit: 5 StarsWith the name Lalo Schifrin attached to this CD, I was a little sceptical about the authenticity of the music I would find within. You see, I had always associated Schifrin's name with movie and television scores, and although he once played with my musical hero Astor Piazzolla, I had premonitions that this would be more glitzy and commercial than I cared for. I couldn't have been more wrong. Schifrin did a masterful job in assembling the right musicians and getting the right sounds from them for the periods the songs represented. He even contributed a few of his own compositions, several of which I enjoy very much: Tango del Atardecer, Tango Lunaire, and the powerful La Represion, so evocative of Argentina's years of dictatorship. Horacio Salgan appears and plays several of his own classic compositions and just to listen to his nimble-fingered piano play is a treat not to be missed. The Tango soundtrack is a very well-balanced CD replete with new renderings of beloved classics interspersed judiciously with more modern compositions. If you like tango as much as I do, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of this very sultry and seductive masterpiece.
Free Music Review: THE BEST TANGO CD I HAVE! Hit: 5 StarsCan't find the better tango CD than this one. I'm SO in love with tango music because of it. If anyone knows, please tell me! vanaporn@cscoms.com
Free Music Review: Danceable and melodious Hit: 5 StarsThis is a superb recording which when played on even the most humble of stereo systems seems to bring the orchestra into the room. The arrangements, with one or two exceptions, are eminently danceable with a clear unambiguous rhythm. Many of the recordings of "standard" tangos are blessed with Lalo Schifrin's genius for melodic interpretation which allows the CD to excel as purely a listening medium as well. This is a tour de force.
