Tangos of Astor Piazzolla / Los Tangueros
Like his frequent partner, Yo-Yo Ma, pianist Emanuel Ax has become  infatuated with the tangos of Astor Piazzolla. Ax sought out pianist Pablo  Ziegler, a long-time member of Piazzolla's ensemble, to make these arrangements  and perform them with him. With his innate musicianship and Ziegler as a tutor,  Ax has entered wholeheartedly into the world of the New Tango. These  performances have just the right feeling for rhythm and color. Whether you need  an album of Piazzolla on two pianos is another question. I'd say get some of  Piazzolla's own recordings first. But for piano tango this album is a total  success.--Leslie Gerber
