Reviews of Tangata (The critics agree with JANPress - this is a "must have" CD)
[Back to Top]

"......The arrangements of Piazzolla's compositions are challenging and intricate, the performance level is exceptionally high, and the dramatic, occasionally dissonant thrust of the music....is...unnerving at times."
    "....the pieces are the product of a finely tuned (and attuned) ensemble..."
Mike Joyce 
The Washington Post
