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).

"Tangos Aumentados" is a groundbreaking cinematic journey that pushes the limits of tango nuevo. Under the direction of Andrea Marsili, the all-female orchestra Fleurs Noires explores a sonic world where the traditional soul of the bandoneon is "augmented" by complex polyrhythms, dissonant harmonies, and a symphonic depth. This project is not just a dance record; it is a profound artistic statement about the evolution of urban music in the 21st century.

“The cover is worn out,” said Lynne Earls on the phone. “Because it spent many years stored away in the drawer of dreams,” I replied. She smiled and said, “That could be the lyrics of a good song.” Lynne Earls is our L.A. Woman — the one who dusted off an old dream and turned it into reality by producing this record, which we recorded in just four hours during a live session in California a few months ago. Throughout the entire mixing and mastering process, Lynne gave us a level of enthusiasm and care that mirrors the way she approaches music production: listening with the heart. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed playing it, and as much as Lynne enjoyed producing it. Let’s keep rolling. Let’s keep chasing dreams.

In the footsteps of Piazzolla, the Triunfal Quintet takes a new, contemporary approach to tango with this disc which includes the world premiere recording of the works of Ben Faes and Jeroen D'ho.

In this 1973 masterpiece, Maestro Gianfranco Reverberi places double basses at the heart of a whimsical and eclectic collection. From playful marches and melancholic tangos to eerie horror themes and folk-inspired dances, the album showcases the instrument's versatility. Blending classical, folk, and cinematic influences with touches of humor, it evokes vivid imagery perfect for cartoons and children's TV. A charming highlight of 1970s Italian library music.

This is Laura Camacho. My new album, “Todo Tiempo Pasado” (All Time Past), will be released on November 28th. Among the special guests are Latin Grammy-nominated composers Emiliano Messiez and Ariel Pirotti. The album honors the universality of music, connecting various eras of tango with a contemporary aesthetic. You'll recognize folk roots, classical music, jazz, and pop. In addition to my compositions "Todo Tiempo Pasado" and "ECOS," there are works by Astor Piazzolla, Mariano Mores, Ariel Pirotti, a double bass solo in "Milonga Triste," and tango arrangements by Britney Spears and Kate Bush.

New Tango Project was born in 2016, with the aim of fusing the genres of jazz and tango from a renewing perspective, through their own compositions. With a line-up that has been maintained since its inception (Darío Polonara: bandoneon, Federico Salgado: double bass, Ramiro Rosa: drums and Guido Di Blasi: electric guitar and composition), the group revisits the roots of Argentine music and the essence of jazz, managing to build its own identity, a modern sound that respects and is nourished by these inspiring genres.

Gabriel Rivano is an Argentine bandoneonist, guitarist, flutist and composer, born in Buenos Aires in 1958.

Maria Martinova’s electrifying and enticing new album is a “love letter” to the riveting universe of Tango.

Astor Piazzolla’s Nuevo tango transcends categories and represents an amalgam of international influences. All the arrangements in this album are of instrumental works that Piazzolla composed for his Quinteto Nuevo Tango. Most prominent is the Vivaldi-inspired Las cuatro estaciones porteñas (‘The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires’) reimagined in concerto style for solo violin and string orchestra by Leonid Desyatnikov. The seven other companion pieces, arranged by Ken Selden, use printed sources for structure but incorporate improvisations transcribed from original recordings made by Piazzolla and his band. On this, his third Piazzolla album for Naxos, internationally recognised violinist Tomás Cotik pays homage to his birth city of Buenos Aires.

In TintoTango Plays Piazzolla we find ourselves riding along a musical journey. Through these musical pieces we travel around neoclassical landscapes, beautiful and delicate melodies fly above us, surrounded by free-flowing solos and colored brushstrokes of extended contemporary techniques.

Friedrich Kleinhapl was immediately impressed by Astor Piazzolla's Le Grand Tango, his only original composition for cello and piano. The idea of combining South American temperament with European depth and a classical conception of sound ultimately resulted in the album program Pasion Tango for cello and piano (ARS38161). The next step was a logical continuation: tangos again with cello, but this time with a classical orchestra, in order to explore the tonal and emotional potential even more deeply - the result is a Gran Pasion Tango!
