5 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars 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

2 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars 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.

3 out of 5 stars One-dimensional tango.......2007-03-04

While the technical aspects of this recording are beyond question, the nostalgic point of view the performers have chosen transforms these beautiful tangos in whinny pieces.... Tango is about melancholy, that's true, but it's also about machismo, and lacks anything but power.

These fine interpretations are nice to listen to as background music, but don't convey the power of the tango, and so, I must recommend anything else if you are looking for an introduction to this complex music. Piazzola's original pieces, for example, will knock your socks off, compared to the interpretations featured here. The only song I found to be worth on its own, is not a tango, but a beautiful danza by Alberto Ginastera. I have heard many versions of that song and this one is my favourite one by far....

5 out of 5 stars Kneel in the Church of Tango.......2004-01-01

There may not be candles or pews or stain glass windows, but the realm of Tango has become an object of reverence for many. Most people have only heard the orchestral versions of this type of music and that is unfortunate. The original tango was a song - not a dance.

ALthough Piazzolla has made Tango accessible for the masses (and transformed it into a new creature in the process) it is Gardel and Salgan who hearken back to the roots of the movement. These are sultry tones, languid, erotic, passionate and exquisite. It is almost impossible to select any one as a favorite so I'll conclude that they all deserve a prize.

5 out of 5 stars This is a Tango Bar........2002-12-13

Now you will know what it's like to sit, tears filling your already-empty glass, in a Tango Bar in Buenos Aires on a lonely night.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!.......2002-03-04

This album contains the most beautiful, refined, and expressive tango performances I have ever heard. Not only that, but you CAN dance to them! The accordian playing here is truly fine and sensitive. Barenboim's sense of timing and rubato is always expressive, never excessive, and seems contagious to the rest of the ensemble. I listen to this over and over again and never get tired of it. An unexpected bonus to this double bass aficionado was Contrabajedo's inclusion on this CD. Bravo! You need to buy this CD immediately.

5 out of 5 stars Tango for the world.......2002-03-02

This is music at its best: relaxing, precise, melodic, thoughtful, romantic, and entertaining all at once. You will never get tired of this album. If you enjoy the finer things in life, this is a MUST. There is not a single annoying piece in the whole album. I rate it among my favorite albums of all time. Truly timeless. Enjoy!

3 out of 5 stars Okay for the money........2005-10-19

I suppose I expected something a little more uplifting than the music on this cd, so if you are looking for tangos that are not only good for dancing but good for listening, you may want to keep looking. I am a dance instructor, so I find it does come in handy when I need to practice or warm-up on my own, but trying to have a student practice a new or complicated move to the mid-tempo is a bit challenging. They do not provide for much variety, the songs, and all kind of run together, which does lend a hand in not being distracted when concentrating on dance. All in all, not spectacular, but does the job.

4 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT Tango CD with Full Orchestra. But CD track name listings are wrong, due to poor Quality Control........2005-04-18

My 6-13-07 update: "20 Beautiful Tangos" is EXCELLENT, with Full Orchestra, and is one of my favorite Tango music CD's. The music itself is actually 5 stars of 5. But the track name listings are wrong. (Poor QA and QC.)
Here are my recommended name corrections:

#1 should be 1 El Poeta. "1 Tango Verano" is wrong, and Tango Verano is no where on this CD.
#2 should be 2 Senor Gonzales. "2 El Poeta" is wrong, and is #1.
#3 should be 3 Tango Albeniz. "3 Senor Gonzales" is wrong, and is #2.
#4 should be 4 La Passionara. "4 Tango Albeniz" is wrong, and is #3.
#5 should be 5 La Cumparsita. "5 La Passionara" is wrong, and is #4.
#6 should be 6 Blue Tango. "6 La Cumparsita" is wrong, and is #5.
#7 should be 7 La Paloma. "7 Blue Tango" is wrong, and is #6.
#8 should be 8 Tango Del Amor. "8 La Paloma" is wrong, and is #7.
#9 should be 9 Morenita. "9 Tango Del Amor" is wrong, and is #8.
#10 should be 10 Puerto Grande. (Also same as #18.) "10 Morenita" is wrong, and is #9.
#11 should be 11 El Primero Besso. "11 Puerto Grande" is wrong, and is #10.
#12 should be 12 El Toreador. "12 El Primero Besso" is wrong, and is #11.
#13 should be 13 El Choclo. "13 El Toreador" is wrong, and is #12.
#14 should be 14 Valentino Tango. "14 El Choclo" is wrong, and is #13.
#15 might be 15 La Castilla Romantica. (Can not compare on Internet). "15 Valentino Tango" is wrong, and is #14.
#16 should be 16 El Calor Del Sol. "16 La Castilla Romantica" is wrong, and might be #15.
#17 should be 17 Adios Muchachos. (Might aka be 17 En El Casino, but can not compare on Internet). "17 El Calor Del Sol" is wrong, and is #16.
#18 should be 18 Puerto Grande. (Also same as #10.) "18 En El Casino" is wrong, and could be #17.
#19 original CD name "19 A Media Luz" is correct.
#20 original CD name "20 Hernando's Hideaway" is correct.

4 out of 5 stars Tango for Piano Lovers.......2001-09-11

I bought this CD on the strength of some of the other Enrique Chia works with which I am familiar and because I am an aficionado of tango. Tangos Y Nostalgia is a pretty good CD. While Chia does not bring to tango the piano heroics of a Pablo Ziegler, he handles this somewhat difficult material quite well. There is not a bad song on the album.
I like his arrangements of the Discepolo/Mores classic Uno, Celos (Jalousie), Orquideas Bajo La Luz De La Luna, Milonga Sentimental, and Madreselva. These are the songs on which Chia's virtuosity is most evident. The weakest cut is a lackluster No Llores Por Mi Argentina.
The rest of the CD is quite enjoyable and winds up with an emotional rendering of El Dia Que Me Quieres by one of the grand old dames of tango, Libertad Lamarque. While her voice is of course not what it once was (she must be quite old), the passion clearly rings out.
While pure tango fans may find Tangos Y Nostalgia a little tame, piano fans will find this to be tango tailor-made for piano lovers.

5 out of 5 stars Tangos & Nostalgia.......2000-09-20

Really good piano performances of Tangos are not easy to find, and this is one of the best I have located. The renditions have a very authentic feel to them. Tango dancers will find that the tempo of the performances is genuine, these performances have not been "smoothed over" into easy listening at all. Piano enthusiasts (I am one) will find Chia's style to be bright and energetic. The emphasis is very much on the piano, with a minimum of surrounding orchestration. I definately recommend this CD, and I will be buying more of Enrique Chia.

3 out of 5 stars tangos.......2006-08-06

This is a wonderful cd for people who love tangos...Libertad Lamarque had her own unique style and she expressed her music in a manner full of emotion and from the heart!

5 out of 5 stars A great artist.......2005-09-04

Libertad Lamarque will always be in the memory of those who have listened to her or seen her work as an actress. This album is a really golden collection of her "tango" singing. Once you listen to her, you'll play this CD over and over again.

5 out of 5 stars Libertad Lamarque will be missed-her recordings will go on........2000-12-19

I've had Libertad Lamarque's album Tangos Imortales on vinyl since my mother gave it to me as a birthday present in 1975. In fact I live near the street where the now defunct record shop where mom bought it was! I was thrilled to hear this fine LP is available now on CD. To be honest, I didn't listen to the CD since I know all the songs by heart and it's in mono anyway. Did you know in the TV movie Evita Peron Rita Moreno's charcter was based on Libertad Lamarque? Her legendary battles with star-turned-politcian Eva Peron got her exiled to Mexico. Argetntina's loss is the world's gain. I especially liked the male vocalist on Cantando and Adios Muchachos later became the english language song I Get Ideas. A Media Luz is fun to listen but Plegaria is the most dramatic song on the album(as if the album needed a dramatic song) and it's not sampled on this website! Oh well!The lady died on Dec. 12 at aged 92 in Mexico City. Having worked for over 70 years she will be missed but her recordings will go on. Tangos Imortales is not to be missed by ANY music fans

5 out of 5 stars a bright star from the past.......2000-08-29

This fabulous actress and singer is an Argentine treasure. She sings with such passion and sincerity, and her sparkling voice (even though these recordings are from many years ago) sounds crystal clear and full of life.

Her rendition of "Nostalgias" is wonderful, as is "La Cumparsita", and the spoken section of "Inspiración" will give you a glimpse of what a luminous presence she was on film. Though I confess, I don't normally appreciate the female voice, Libertad Lamarque holds a special place in my heart and in my CD collection.

5 out of 5 stars Libertad Lamarque has a beautiful voice........1999-10-01

Libertad Lamarque has a beautiful voice that is full of emotion. When you listen to her sing you are taken to the "place" she is at. I and my mother enjoy her music very much and am looking forward to acquiring more of her music. Please offer more of her music. Thank you

5 out of 5 stars A Treasure!.......2005-12-02

Along with Rifkin's indispensable recordings of Scott Joplin's rags, this CD belongs in the collection of anyone with more than a passing interest in ragtime. For those who may be unfamiliar with Rifkin, let me quickly mention that this is NOT honky-tonk ragtime! If you're looking for an out-of-tune piano playing "Five Foot Two," you've come to the wrong place. These pieces are American (North and South) classics, played on a concert grand piano. Rifkin beautifully articulates the rags of James Scott, Joseph Lamb, and tangos of the great Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth. Even those who chided Rifkin's Joplin recordings as "dull" may be pleasantly surprised by the energy and pep with which Rifkin attacks some of these pieces. Even so, his signature classical approach remains intact--he plays the pieces as written, as the composers intended. Rifkin's touch is graceful and elegant; he avoids taking these pieces too fast, allowing their rhythmic and harmonic subtelties to shine. Just as many consider Rifkin's Joplin recordings to be the definitive interpretations, I consider the recordings on this disc to be the definitive interpretations of these pieces. I've heard countless other recordings of the Scott and Lamb pieces on this disc, but none match the evenness, feeling, or sheer quality of Rifkin's performances. The composers on this disc were several notches above most other popular composers of their day, and in this recording, it is immediately clear why. These are beautiful pieces, tinged with a hint of melancholy. The mix of American rags and Brazilian tangos works wonderfully, the pieces complement each other very well. I pull this CD out often--it's great for studying, reading, driving, or just listening. Some of my favorites are Lamb's "Ragtime Nightingale" and "Topliner Rag," Scott's "Evergreen Rag" and "Troubadour Rag" and Nazareth's "Fon-Fon" and "Nove de Julho." This last one is particularly beautiful and haunting. No ragtime or even classical music enthusiast should be without this CD. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars The incredible Joshua Rifkin absolutely perfect once again.......2005-09-23

Kind readers of this review, here's my advice: buy this CD
as soon as you have a moment and a few dollars to spare. This
is an another simply great CD by Joshua Rifkin, already immortalized--and rightfully so--by his extraordinary realizations of various of the Joplin rags. This particular CD includes a wonderful selection of classic rags from James Scott and Joseph Lamb, along with several tangos by Ernesto Nazareth, whose tangos often have the bittersweet flavor we associate with the music of Scott Joplin.

Rather than bore you with endless blatherings about the CD, I'll
just say that, as in the case with Mr. Rifkin's recording of
the Joplin rags, I can't imagine this charming music
being played any better. Joshua Rikin just seems to have the
knack for playing this music just right--never too fast, never
any cheap "effects," never without poise, elegance, tonal beauty,
cohesion or tastefully rendered phrasing.

If you haven't heard the Nazareth tangos on this recording, you
really have something special to look forward to here. It's
amazing to me that only in recent years has Nazareth's music
come to be known, given the captivating charm of his music.

Amongst my 400-plus CDs, this is one of my favorites. My dad
loves it as well, and is constantly playing it.

I only wish I could figure out how to get hold of a copy of the
music for Ernesto Nazareth's "Cubanos," since I haven't been able to track down the score anywhere.

I just hope that Mr. Rifkin will get the urge to record some
more of the classic rags or tangos, since it's very hard to imagine better performances of this delightful music.

    The quartet does an excellent job of setting the mood for whatever you are doing. It's music you can talk over and yet it is stimulating just to lay back and listen. Can't miss with this CD.

    5 out of 5 stars The Scott Joplin of Brazil.......2007-01-11

    For the unitiated (as I was) you will discover a treasure here. The "feel" of the music, especially on the more lively numbers, is 100% Brazilian Samba. The interesting thing is that the pianist achieves that feel with no drummer, no percussion, no bells and whistles. It will take you to the Carnival in Rio. If you're a classical lover on a budget, this CD (or any other) on the Naxos label is a steal.

    5 out of 5 stars A great release of Nazareth!.......2006-01-15

    I 'discovered' Ernesto Nazareth about 8 years ago while surfing the internet. I found him in a composer alphabet: N is for Nazareth, the only entry under N. I always have my eye out for Brazilian music because of fond connections there. Further, Nazareth was billed as the 'King of Brazilian Ragtime' (or some such grandiose title). I play rags (please don't call me a ragtime piano player), and I have come to object to Nazareth's music being considered 'ragtime'. Nazareth's music is unique music with complex influences of which ragtime is not one. Nazareth's music is a cousin of ragtime; both are rooted in Gottschalk. It is uniquely Brazilian music- and influenced even Villa Lobos as such. It is fun, lively, witty, teasing; Nazareth makes Joplin seem very serious. Yet, the moods of Nazareth are deep. I call the music 'Nazareth'.

    Iara Behs gives us a delightful sampler, showing off Nazareth's range of moods, styles, & influences in a spirited- very Brazilian- performance. The notes she writes are as touching as her piano performances, and it is worth the price just to read her sensitive description of the man and his music. I once read a review complaining that for all that Nazareth wrote everyone records the same stuff. Iara's CD is a great blend of new and familiar recordings. Her selections demonstrate thoughtfulness and purpose. However, I wish she would have played 'Fon-Fon' as it always gives me saudades for Rio de Janeiro traffic, and only Cariocas play it right.

    The CD is well-recorded, faithfully replicating piano and music. If possible, I would have chosen 4.5 stars (near-excellent) rather than 5 (excellent). While Iara's brilliant expression offsets any technical error, I find some expression- specifically some ritenutos- distracting (subtract 1/2 star).

    Anyone interested in piano music of any genre should enjoy this CD. If you do not yet know Nazareth, buy this CD as a treat. If you do know Nazareth, you need to buy it.
