They finish with a rousing dance called Libertango. It is a perfect finale for this [disc] of catchy, toe-tapping music. Many other artists have recorded Piazzolla’s works, but not with violin and piano. The sound on this disc is clear and the performances precise. I think that lovers of tango music will definitely want this fascinating disc’ ( Fanfare ). Buenos Aires. Key Features: •
