皮耶佐拉被称为“世纪探戈教父”，他杰出的创作赋予了探戈音乐崭新的生命力，使其从最初的“有低俗之嫌”的舞蹈音乐登上了大雅之堂。时至今日，探戈音乐正以其华丽而又忧郁的独特魅力吸引着全世界众多的演奏家和音乐爱好者。 在这张专辑中，着名的大提琴家马友友将拉奏多首改编自皮耶佐拉作品的探戈音乐，并与“阿萨德兄弟”吉他二重奏组、手风琴家马科尼等着名南美洲探戈音乐合奏团合作，再度引领广大乐迷进入自由、热情、迷人的探戈世界，来纪念这位伟大的探戈教父。在充满异国情调的音乐中，艺术家们精彩地诠释了探戈独特的艺术魅力。如马友友所说：“探戈这个词勾勒出了魔幻般的迷人印象：灯火朦胧的舞场，空气中弥漫的烟雾，男人怀抱中的漂亮女郎，放逐于节奏中的爱和梦想、痛苦和真实。”这正是探戈音乐的灵魂——生命的舞蹈，也正是这Billboard古典排行榜冠军大碟的魅力所在。(转美丽元素) Editorial Reviews, Amazon.com essential recording Yo-Yo Ma might seem like an unlikely protagonist for the tango, but this intrepid musical explorer has taken his task seriously, collaborating with experienced tango musicians. Ma even participates in a posthumous collaboration with one 1987 Piazzolla recording. Furthermore, while he's obviously the headliner here, he doesn't dominate the arrangements nearly as much as he does the billing and photography of the disc. While the result isn't your essential Piazzolla album (that would have to include more of the composer's own playing), it's an atmospheric and convincing collection, perhaps a good introduction for those who don't know the music. --Leslie Gerber
