Not good enough.......2001-02-27

Well there are some nice tangos on the CD but a tango master would have sequenced them better!! I found it very distracting that the mood and tempo changed and seemsed to have no real structure to it.

Not good enough.......2001-02-27

Definitely a keeper. Dancers, you will love this disk!.......2000-10-01

¡Fantastico! I am really excited about «Tango Federico.» This is a disk that I listen to at home, in the car, and, being the "tango junkie" that I am, take it with me and ask DJs at dances to play songs from it for me. This is the "edad de oro" kind of tango that we dancers know and love. Some of the names are easily recognizable: Anibal Troilo, Pedro Laurentz, Francisco Canaro, Roberto Firpo, and Alfredo de Angeles to name a few. If you are planning the music for a milonga, there is a nice mix of tango, milonga, and vals. Vocals are delightful - no, Carlos Gardel is not on this disk, but we do have the heavenly singing of Alberto Podesta, Carlos Dante, Jolio Martel, Raúl Berón, Francisco Fiorintino, and more.

Other people have done reviews that have been critical of the quality of the recording. I find the only cut where there is a problem is "Fumando Espero," by the Orquesta Típica Victor. The music is good, but it sounds like 1920's vintage scratchy 78 rpm disk played on an antique Victorla record player. However, I am delighted with some of the most beautiful valses (Argentine waltzes) that I have ever danced to. The milongas are great, and I especially like "Cimarron De Ausencia" a milonga by the Anibal Troilo orchestra with vocals by Floreal Ruiz and Alberto Marino. If you are hosting a milonga [social dance where Argentine tango is featured] or are organizing the music for a dance, you will love the music on this disk.

I had previously highly recommended the compact disk «¡Bailemos Tango!» as an excellent disk for Argentine tango dancers. If you liked «¡Bailemos Tango!», you will love «Tango Federico.» Good luck, and put your heart and soul into the dancing.

A great find.......2000-06-28

I have been purchasing and listening to a lot of Tango dance music for a Milonga I run once a month. I ordered this CD half thinking it would not live up to its title (so many don't),however, not only does it live up to its title it, in my opinion, exceeds it. This man has an obvious love of melody, and harmony. His selections shine in that respect. These songs are wonderful to listen to as well as dance to. If you dance tango you know full well that a lot of songs are wonderful to listen to, but fall terribly short on the dance floor. I received a contempory Tango CD along with this one, and I have played this one almost constantly. The other one hardly at all. Tangos, vals, and milongas I have never heard were instantly likable. I could probobly make issue with one or maybe two of his selections, but that leaves 20+ left. I don't think you can go wrong with this one. You also must make some compensation for the quality of some of the recordings, yet even these display a rich and full presence of content. You wish you could have heard these gems, and these artists in person.

difficult to assess a life all in one place.......2005-04-01

I found the playing here very personal, and introspective,not aggressive with the tempo when it needed it to propell the music forward; it is easy to examine Wolpe's piano solo music in retrospect, far more difficult gazing from different periods in time. I still prefer David Tudor's impassioned,clear,powerful reading of the :Passacaglia:.It is simply correct in every respect,not only the obvious (tempo,dynamics) but finding the emotive state of the work,something few actually find. This, the Tudor reading--if you can find it on an old Everest Vinyl I beleive is the label. Geoffrey Madge begins the :Passacaglia: too slowly as Ms.Wolpe trying to seize upon some "mystery"or darkness or perspective of musical space. I beleive there was/are such sensibilities here, 1936 was a paradigm a dark passage for all,and the lumbering measured trek through each variation,each intervallic renderings makes the work far more heavier, again a metaphor for the times.So you need to enliven and electrify this situation as Tudor admirably did.(Tudor had given performances of this work many times in New York City in the Fifties) Wolpe had lived in Palestine in the Thirties prior to coming to New York to live out his years.
Ms.Wolpe here has a wonderful sense of the lyricism of this music as in the beautiful "Early Piece" from 1925,You can sense even there all was not right with the human spirit, that it was trounced once or twice. Likewise the :Zemach Suite: also has similar gruffy features, edgee for the times despite its more light spirit, or relatively lighter character frames of fugues,Jubilations. It is really not until the mid-Forties where the dodecaphonic language imparts itself on Wolpe's sensibility,where he worked and laboured at it almost like sketch-work in preparation for something to come. The piano pieces here are in fact "Studies" (1944-1951) and 1948. He also wrote other :Studies: on intervallic rows of his choosing,that were not really intended to be performed live in a concert venue. They have however. Not till the two "Forms" for Piano one from 1959 another 1969 do we in fact get the mature Wolpe at the height of his creative sensibility now. Ms.Wolpe is much better here,where she senses the breakthru of concept,a freedom actually to write whatever one wishes now that a powerful language, a voice has been discovered. The 'Form' from 1959 is threadbare,onward moving, and if you miss this momentum you might as well give up on the piece for it is, this music is unforgiving if you do not find the right emotive posture, sure the correct pulse metronome indication but then play with a balance of aggressiveness and lyricism. Madge, seems to bring some desolation here to "Form 4 (1969) as Ms. Wolpe and for Madge to the 'Battle Piece', another problematical work.
