Astor Piazzolla (1921–1992) revolutionized traditional tango by creating Tango Nuevo, a genre that fused traditional Argentine sounds with elements of jazz, classical music, and even rock. His compositions shifted tango from the dance halls to the concert stage, emphasizing intricate harmonies and intense emotion. While the album is a 2026 compilation, it consists of original recordings where Piazzolla plays his signature instrument, the bandoneón. These tracks are digitally remastered to take advantage of Qobuz's Hi-Res audio formats. The distinct, breathy, and percussive sound of the lead instrument is Piazzolla himself. Most of these recordings feature his famous Quinteto Tango Nuevo, including legendary collaborators like Fernando Suárez Paz (violin) and Pablo Ziegler (piano).
