The Passion of Argentina

Product Description
Known as El Zorzal Criollo, the songbird of Buenos Aires, Carlos Gardel is a legendary figure in Argentina.

Tango at its best.......2001-01-26

Sexteto Mayor has moved the old tango to today's music values, without loosing the essence of the tango, the 2x4 rythm. It combines then two things, highly professionally executed music with the virtues of the Argentine tango. A perfect combination. Even if you are not a tango fan, you should not miss this one. This CDs reflects a performance that has today over 500 presentations around the globe, from China to Albulquerque, from Turkey to San Diego, and has performed in the best theatres and music center around the world. Do not miss it.

Mixed emotions.......2000-07-20

I admit it, when it comes to tango, I tend to be a purist. Therefore, I still have a hard time accepting many of the latest "fusion" trends such as certain songs found in this CD which are not real tangos [e.g. "Ojos negros" a traditional Russian song, played in a tango tune] as well as the "bilingual" versions of some traditional tangos (sung with a pathetic accent, reminiscent of the early days of Julio Iglesias, I might add!)] The orchestra however, sounds wonderful, exceptionally balanced and very assertive.

Impressive collection. A MUST have........1999-10-31

Sexteto Mayor has been known for years in Argentina as being some of the best in tango interpreting and playing. This production meets all expections. This is Argentinian Tango at its best. Great examples were chosen for this CD, I buy it often to give to friends that want to know about my Argentinian origins.

Fabulous!.......1999-06-04

Sexteto Mayor is a MUST HAVE in every tango lover's collection. This is authentic Argentinian tango at its best!

Excelente música para alguien con una vida moderna, ancioso de recordar el pasado....!

Exceptional Album for Listening and Dance.......2004-02-23

I've had this CD for a several years and enjoyed it many times for the delightful music. More recently I've started using it as accompaniment for learning Argentine Tango. It has a consistently easier style than my performance recordings, but it is definitely not as boring as strict tempo dance music. Though not an expert I believe it competently excites the spirit of Tango and inspires the range of movement required of this very expressive genre. I've found no other album that from the first to last selection accomplishes this as well. My copy is titled "Tango Vol. 2" (same selections and cover illustration) and I was searching Amazon hoping to find the first or subsequent volumes. The copyright is 1988, printed 1994.
