TangoBox_cover (Sony, VÖ: 24.06.2011)
Diese Anthologie mit Aufnahmen aus den Bandarchiven von RCA Victor, CBS und Microfón lädt zur Reise durch die 100-jährige Geschichte des Tango ein.
Die wichtigsten Vertreter dieser Kunst führen uns bis in die Gegenwart, vom kreolischen Sänger bis zum Solisten, von den Sextetten der 1920er-Jahre bis zu den typischen Tango-Orchestern, mit bedeutenden Einspielungen von Carlos Gardel und Astor Piazzolla, Aníbal Troilo und Roberto Goyeneche.

CD 1-3 THE 1920s & 1930s The beginnings of tango, with great musicians and orchestras, and
different singing styles that were to influence coming generations of musicians.
CD 4-6 THE 1940s The typical orchestras with different styles, origins and aesthetics. The era
of big tango hits, and artistic couplings of singers with orchestras.
CD 7-9 THE 1950s A renewal with modern sound, different aesthetics and vocal soloists like
Edmundo Rivero.
CD 10-12 THE 1960s & 1970s Many big orchestras broke up, to be replaced by small ensembles
like trios, quartets and quintets. The musical ideas of Astor Piazzolla changed tango yet again.
CD 13-15 THE 1980s ONWARDS Modern tango legends from different stylistic backgrounds
established new trends – Nelly Omar, el Sexteto Tango, Beba Pugliese and members of the new
generation like María Graña and Gabriela Torres.
