Excellent CD.......2006-07-20

Tango music seems hard to find, expeccially of such ggod quality. Happy to have found "The Best Tango Album in the World, Ever!", now to the dance floor!!

Leonard in Hemet, CA.......2006-04-20

I gave it four stars to encourage those who like to sit and listen to fine orchestras. This CD may be great for dancing if you are in the clsss with those who danced with the stars. My partner and I are early 80s and dance almost everything else. Then we decided to learn Tango. This album doesn't work for us.

with DEFECT.......2006-02-01

I RECEIVED A CD, THE TANGO CD( THE BEST TANGO ALBUM IN THE WORLD EVER) WAS DEFECTUOUS, SINCE IT PLAYS ALRIGHT UNTIL THE 12TH SONG, BUT THEN THE SONGS STARTS GIVING WEIRD TONES. AND THE 2ND CD ACTS THE SAME WAY, SINCE MY TANGO ALBUM IS A DOUBLE CD.THE PROBLEM IS NOT FROM THE RADIO, SINCE MY OTHER PURCHASE FROM AMAZON IS IN GOOD SHAPE, AS AL MY OTHER CDS.
THE MUSIC ALWAYS STOPS PLAYING RIGHT AT THE SAME TIME OF THE CD, THE 12 TH SONG, SO ITS PRETTY MUCH A CD PROBLEM.
I DUNNO WHATS THE REFUND POLICY, OR CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER, ITS SO BAD , COS THIS TANGO CD IS GREAT. I ENJOYED IT MUCH , UNTIL.........

My review is for ballroom dancers.......2005-09-15

If you're just learning tango and wish to practice on your own, this is a wise investment. You won't have to disrupt your practice running back and forth to your cd player to select tracks. You won't drive yourself nuts listening to the same song stuck on loop play. Basically, this is a good cd of classical, non-elevator tango music that does not beat you over the head with a nausiating DUM DUM DUM DUM beat. (Well, most of the songs do not.)

There are a few lousy tracks within this collection, but it has been my experience that with all cds there will always be tracks you tend to skip over.

Do not let the $14.99 price tag for a two disk set turn you off. This is good music.

Something is missing........2004-12-28

I got the feeling that 1/3 of the title were included just to justify the double volume. I would a smaller number of tracks but with more passion.

A mixture of jazz and tango to my ear........2007-08-05

I doubt that anyone would be disappointed with this CD. Classical and jazz enthusiasts would appreciate its quality. Anyone who has visited Argentina and witnessed the tango would be even more enthusiastic, I think. I like it!

Piazzolla, el mejor tanguero.......2007-04-11

Es un deleite de sonido, brillante, inteligente, genial Tango de un maestro, música que viene del corazón... ¿puede haber algo mas sentido?

great.......2007-01-28

The best album by piazzolla I have played. the violin playing by antonio agri on milonga del angel is the very best and really captures the tango. My only regret is that the album did not include oblivion.

He's got the soul.......2003-07-02

Piazzola must be the devil.... cause he certainly captured the soul (of tango, that is!)

Brilliant music. Exceptional CD!

Simply the BEST for the Piazzolla neophyte!.......2000-12-21

I have more than ten Piazzolla CDs and this is my favorite. It's actually the first one of his that I ever bought, and I think that this is probably the best CD that a beginner to Piazzolla and Modern Argentine Tango could buy. It has a generous sampling of the several hundred songs that Astor Piazzolla wrote in his life, and it consists mainly of live recordings, which adds to the intensity of each piece. Interestingly enough, there are nearly 200 CDs of Piazzolla music (if not more), and even the songs in the ones recorded by Piazzolla himself vary significantly from album to album. This one, however, is a real joy and will get anyone's toes tapping.

Amazon.com essential recording

Astor Piazzolla lived and died as tango's bad boy, having almost single handedly invented the music's vanguard, the form known as tango nuevo. It took Piazzolla decades to reach his unequivocal apex, which is captured flawlessly on Tango Zero Hour. When this recording was cut in 1986, some of the compositions Piazzolla and his quintet cued up were standards for the band. Whether it was an epiphanic period or not, the recording captures an ensemble alchemically transforming seriously complex works into goose-bump-inducing electricity. Pianist Pablo Ziegler brings his jazz background into the mix with jarring urgency, just as violinist Fernando Suárez Paz makes quavering classical inflections sing amid Piazzolla's here tender and there blistering bandoneon. For a peak experience in music that challenges the ear to dance and the body to fully listen, look no further than this recording. --Andrew Bartlett

Why yes, it is amazing........2007-07-01

35 five star ratings so far, and no rating with a lower grade.

And it deserves every one of them.

New Tango.......2006-08-20

Tango: Zero Hour was the very first tango recording/CD I had ever heard. A friend of mine loaned it to me, not ever telling me exactly what Tango was- all I knew to think of was the dancers with the roses between their teeth, where the dancing was more dramatic than the music... So, my first mistake: having never heard tango. My second? Listening to it late at night in the dark. Music had never rocked my world quite like this... It was the most intense experience I had ever had with music. I was shocked. Wide-eyed. Taken aback. The version I had in my hands was the original with the liner notes, not the new shiny one that I now own (and that you can now buy), and the prose written on the card inside was enough to rip me in half without having ever heard the music. Tango: Zero Hour is not for the faint at heart. It is not for the light enthusiast. As the liner notes so eloquently said: "And suffer, Motherf*****. This is the Tango."

Tango evolved to its most abstract and profound expression.......2006-06-16

Im ashamed to say I began listening to Piazzola at my mid thirties... well, better late than never... Im not a music critic, but all I can say is that Tango has a higher dimmension where it becomes universal and mayble the category of jazz (higher jazz that is) is best to classify it.

Tango is tragic and sensuous... listening to Piazzolla is like listening to classical music quintent.. at the same level it is..

A must.......2005-11-03

This is music to breathe and dream to. Piazolla at his best is probably the most enchanting and transcendental. It takes a Master Extraordinaire to make music like this, Piazolla's recordings only get better with age and never outdated because it is made up of the spirit and passions of a life lived richly. The Melancholy laments of the Bandoneon is truly one of the most haunting, nostalgic most beautiful musical Innovations ever made and noone interprets the manic poetry of it like Piazolla. I can't say much more then what the others have said here but this belongs in every serious music afficianado's collection.

The most passionate music I've ever listened to.......2004-08-27

"Tango: Zero Hour" is, according to Piazzola himself, his masterpiece. This album is second to none in passion and musicianship. Listening to "Contrabajisimo" and "Concierto Para Quinteto" and not shedding one single tear is a certificate of one's total lack of emotions.

Narcotango.......2006-02-25

Narcotango es tal vez el mejor trabajo de la explosión que conjuntó tango y electrónica y que tuvo en Gotan Project uno de sus más claros exponentes.

for lovers of liquid tango.......2005-10-10

This is great modern tango for lovers of liquid tango - new tango with an eclectic edge. I love dancing to almost every track and if only I could find enough great partners out there I'd be dancing non-stop as there's so much potential to create fantastic dances in response to it. However, if you're a non-dancer this is still a great CD with wonderful tracks that will be great backdrops for any laid-back social gathering or to chill out with a coffee on a lazy Sunday morning.

Newest Wave in Tango.......2005-09-22

Once thought by many to be a dying art form, tango shows remarkable resilience as its newest banner is being unfurled by young Argentines who have discovered and embraced the music as their own. Some diehards may find it hard to accept, but the only way that tango can survive as a focal point of Argentine culture is through continuous evolution. If one accepts tango only as it used to be, then it becomes reduced to a mere curiosity and tourist attraction. Innovative,once controversial but now beloved artists like Astor Piazzolla, Osvaldo Berlingieri, and Roberto Goyeneche led the vanguard of a new way of tango expression in the decades following the Golden Era; today artists like Carlos Libedinsky and American Glover Gill take up where they left off.
I first experienced Narcotango when a friend brought me a CD back from a dancing trip to Buenos Aires. When I first played it my first reaction was that the group did quite a good job melding the traditional with the new. I like tango in general, whether it be guardia vieja, orchestral, or nuevo tango. So I had no trouble accepting Libedinsky's marriage of tango and electronic dance club elements.
My favorites here are the slow and sultry Vi Luz y Subi', the trance-inducing Plano Secuencia, the melancholy of the guitar and violin based Otra Luna, the driving and jazzy Un Paso Mas Alla', the unusual take on Gardel's classic Mi Buenos Aires Queri..., the touch of Piazzolla in Trancetango, and the slow-burning Humo that closes tha CD.
I'm going to check out the Gotan Project and the Bajofondo Tango Club mentioned by some reviewers, but in the meantime Narcotango will get lots of play. If you like modern Argentine tango and haven't heard this CD yet, then I recommend that you try it out. I'm certainly glad that I was turned on to it!

Electronic Tango.......2005-09-18

Narcotango is a great CD...especially for slower paced Argentine Tango dancing. It is haunting and pulsating and allows one to dance in a creative and flowing way. At times the pieces kind of run together...lacking distinct individuality...but overall it is a great dance CD.

Disappointing.......2005-07-28

With fantastic electrotango like Gotan Project and BajoFondo Tango Club this was a huge disappointment.

Love It!.......2007-05-17

I am learning the tango and this CD is perfect introduction to the pantheon of tangueros! Excellent selections of tango standards and milonga favorites.

Tantalizing Tango.......2006-02-04

The CD has nice songs. The only drawback is that only dramatic tangoes are included but not milongas and tango waltz

Boring.......2006-01-17

This music is boring. All tangos have the same tempo. No milongas. What a shame! Trying to do routines to this music would be a waste of time. This CD sounds like background music in a lounge.

Nice for dancers.......2003-07-20

The price is temptimg and the music great. If you are a tango dancer dont think about it. If you are a piazzola fan forget it.
I guess the word classic tangos suits it fine plus the production is really good. A non-regreting buying choice i made.

Narcotango 2 cumple con el estándar del tango electrónico. Aunque a ratos se puede pensar que su sonido está cada día más cercano a Piazzolla que a Gotan project.

Y es precisamente eso lo que hace de él un serio candidato para continuar dignamente cuando pase esta moda de ponerle tanta tecnología al ritmo porteño.

Album Details

Argentinean Ástor Pantaleón Piazzolla (March 11, 1921 - July 4, 1992) is Widely Considered the Most Important Tango Composer of the Latter Half of the Twentieth Century. His Oeuvre Revolutionized the Traditional Tango Into a New Style Termed Nuevo Tango, Incorporating Elements from Jazz and Classical Music. This 10cd Set Combines Some of his Greatest Recordings.

Customer Reviews:

20-Year Piazzolla Fan in South Florida.......2007-07-23

While there are several repeats of songs (works) in the 10-CD set, they are recorded at different periods in the late Astor Piazzolla's musical life, with different groupings of musicians. There is an incredible amount of song material in this set for such a small amount of money. The recording quality is variable, no doubt due to the quality of the original recordings, but it is still very good overall for the collection as a whole. For anyone just newly learning about Piazzolla, this is a very good collection to have as a starter set, at a very low price. And, for an oldtimer like me who already has a lot of CD albums of both Piazzolla performances and those of others who have covered his work with different instrumentation, I still added a lot of new song titles to my Piazzolla song list. I was lucky enough to have seen Piazzolla perform in concert in Miami about 1-2 years before his stroke, and 3-4 years before he died in 1992. I was also lucky to have heard and learned about his work before that time, even though it was long after he became famous (I never owned a Piazzolla record). It would have been nice to have an explanatory booklet ("liner notes") about the various works, even if the set cost a couple bucks more, which is why I downgraded to 4 stars.

Beautiful.......2006-12-15

An amazing musician. It's a great price and a wealth of material to enjoy, study and love. Beautiful.

An Incredible Bargain.......2004-02-18

I already own more than fifty Piazzolla CDs and so was more than a little curious about what new material could be gleaned from this ambitious box set. What I found is that despite thinking that my collection must be nearing completion, my collection is far from complete indeed! While most of the songs are very familiar, at least eighty percent of the arrangements are not.
The songs within are mostly from the late 60s-70s period of Piazzolla's long and glorious career. There are some live recordings, some recordings in Portuguese, some in Italian, and some recordings made with some of the more obscure Piazzolla ensembles as well as a modest number of arrangements as presented on recordings I already own. In short, this is a veritable treasure trove of some of the twentieth century's finest compositions. After hearing this set for the first time, I wondered just how many more of Piazzolla's recordings have yet to be released.

The dates and facts surrounding the birth of Carlos Gardel, even his real name and nationality, are still argued about--more than 60 years after his death in a plane crash. But his place as the greatest singer in the history of tango is indisputable. Gardel not only nearly singlehandedly defined the tango-cancion (sung tango) and set the standards of interpretation. For many, he embodied the very spirit of tango--urbane yet streetwise, romantic but also tough, sensual but oh-so-cool. This collection, smartly selected and reasonably improved aurally, offers ample proof. North American audiences may recognize songs such as El Dia Que Me Quieras (sung by Luis Miguel, Julio Iglesias), Mi Buenos Aires Querido (Iglesias) and Por Una Cabeza (soundtrack True Lies). Gardel brings to his performance impeccable intonation, precise phrasing and just the right pathos. These are the definitive versions by a master at the peak of his powers. --Fernando Gonzalez

Fantastic CD. Really enjoyed listening to it!

The best of Carlos Gardel.......2007-03-28

Brings back lots of memories, but the recordings are old and dated, mono and scratchy, so as memorabilia, is a wonderful compilation, don't know if they could have improved the end product updating and cleaning the original sources.

The Grandfather of tango!.......2006-01-10

There 's a famous Argentine aforism:"Gardel is like the good wine; everydays sings still better".

The tango is winter 's memory; unfinished happiness, indifference ' s smile, old livings and memories either pleasant or unpleasant. Single poetry masked by the collective stardom.

Carlos Gardel `s legend has enhanced through the years. His undeniable abilities and countless virtues, impeccable diction and stage presence gave the tango a special status that surmounted its intrinsic level (Borges called it once a reptile of brothel) and make the definitive leap in the good taste of every melomaniac around the world.

The tango as memory, nostalgia 's matrix, about what it could have been and was not. A musical genre that accounts the little and if you want insignificant anecdotes of unknown and crepuscular human beings; that revives those livings of our vanished childhood and youth; that reminds Mi Buenos Aires with the same sensation of desperate anguish interweaved with hopeless; the appropriate immigrant 's song.

A magnificent selection of Gardel , best known as "El morocho del abasto", where each June 24th of every year in many corners of the world a crowd of people gather with the only purpose to remind his memory.

Not the best sound of the Carlos Gardel reissues.......2005-02-11

Yes, the recordings here are core treasures of Tango. But the audio processing causes there to be resonances at certain midrange frequencies that are harsh and irritating. Better sound, and twice the tracks for 1/3 more, can be found in "Lo Mejor de lo Mejor" (as it is listed on Amazon --- the CD actually is called "Carlos Gardel 40 Temas Originales").

Gardel rocks.......2002-05-17

What can I say, Gardel was the king!

Customer Reviews:

A great bargain.......2007-07-14

Clear and succinct instruction: as good as it gets. Each step is gone over thoroughly, with multiple views that facilitate learning. Though the music CD does not quite match the excellence of the DVD, this duo is a real bargain. For anyone wishing to look good in ballroom tango on the social dance floor, this and practice are all that is needed.

We found this set better than DVD's alone that cost five times as much. Plus, with this DVD, you get a CD that contains all the practice music you'll need. ...A great bargain, indeed!

Great Deal.......2007-01-25

The DVD in this set gives you four beginner and four intermediate moves. The music CD that is also included provides you with decent tango music that has beats that are easy to follow. You get all of this for nine dollars, which is much cheaper than any other dance instruction DVD you will find anywhere. This DVD was a great help when I actually took a tango lesson because I already knew many of the moves. The only reason I didn't give this set 5 stars is that I was left wanting more. It turns out you can get more from the same company, but you will have to pay fifty dollars the next time around.

One of the best pices of music.......2005-09-24

Borges its a great writer, and so when it comes to mix the emotion of literature in the field of music, piazzolla its a virtuoso, the complete record its great, perfectly balance, emotional, intense, a must for the nu tango lovers

The Name Says It All.......2005-03-11

Tango Apasionado - never has there been a better description of the form in generalic. And the "Cyclical Night" describes the form on this CD in specific. The tango has evolving from a barrio song of bordellos to a sultry dance to, in Piazzolla's hands, an entirely new creature. One only has to see "The Twelve Monkeys" and hear the edgy, nervous sound track to realize how far the Tango has progressed.

But it is the Milonga and songs/pieces like this that continue to draw us to the music. All that yearning, longing and bittersweet melody. If you like Piazzolla (and I cannot imagine any sane person who doesn't) then this is one of the signature works, approved by the master himself. It's cyclical nature is perfect for the story the composer tells. Best of all it shows yet another facet of this multi-faceted man. Not only was he a great composer who moved the music beyond the safety zone, he was also a performer of the first order. The bandoneon, that yawning, difficult instrument literally sings. Pablo Zinger is, of course, as wonderful as ever. Indeed the ensemble sounds more like a single unit than disparate musicians. This is a relic of great value and should be treasured as such.

A true gem........2003-02-06

If you like Astor Piazzolla, you'll love this one. This, along with Buenos Aires Tango: Zero Hour and La Camorra, are Piazzolla's best works (even recognized by the master himself).

If you like tango, you'll love this one. No matter how purist you could be, Milonga Picaresque es as pure as tango itself.

If you like Jazz, you can't miss Milonga For Three (Reprise).

And, if you just like music (like me) well, this is the CD to have.

It has something that makes it so special. It's great for all tastes. One funny thing: Milonga For Three (reprise) is GREAT FOR LOVEMAKING ;-)

wonderful.......2003-02-05

I have just started taking Tango lessons and got this on my way home one night, can't stop listening to it, and doing steps in my head as I go to work.....tis' Wonderful, full of passion and romance that is true Tango
