Let's Tango. Tangos Argentinos (1992)

Album releasing a recording of the author, composer, arranger and German conductor Werner Müller (Berlin, 1920-98) and his orchestra. The Müller orchestra made forays into television and film, being famous during years 50 to 70. Müller reached to make numerous performances and recordings of music for dancing and tango. In this LP meet 12 items, chosen among the most interpreted and known classics.

Album by British composer, arranger and musical director Geoff Love (Yorkshire, 1917-91) and his orchestra, this time published in Poland in 1971.This LP brings together 12 well-known songs, mostly from Latin America, orchestrated musically as tango music. From tunes originally created as such, including Geoff's own creation 'La rosa negra', to other not being Latin. Geoff makes a fair exercise of interpretation intended to the dance world. Always acting style that has been called 'European' tango.

This recording combines the lyrical and rhythmic vitality of early 20th century Brazilian and American popular music with Rifkin's thoughtful and artistic realization, in much the same way as his 1970's recordings of Joplin piano works did on the Nonesuch label. As with those recordings, the sound here is good and the performances excellent. Various different interpretations of Nazareth, Scott, and Lamb exist, and some might find the slower pace of Rifkin's ragtime playing eccentric, but I believe these performances to be subtle and truly musical, as opposed to surface and expected.

Compilation album released in Argentina, dedicated to instrumental tango, composed of fifteen classic tangos recorded in original versions, from composers as Piazzolla, Canaro, Pugliese, Arolas and others, and performed by some of the foremost instrumental ensembles in history of that specialty (with major format tango orchestra, sextet or quintet) as the same Piazzolla, Troilo, Juan d'Arienzo, Salgán, Gobbi, Filiberto or Fresedo among others.
