yo yo ma - soul of tango: the music of astor piazzolla (1997)
yo yo ma - obrigado BRAZIL: live in concert (2004)
i remember sitting in my dorm room in boston in 1987 listing to an interview with piazzolla on wzbc. during the interview they played several piazzolla recording. the music haunted me for days. all this to say yo yo ma delivers an equally haunting performance of piazzolla on his 1997 release in homage of the maestro. i have also been listening to yo yo ma's release of brazillian and other south american flavored music from a couple years back. joined by the likes of the assad brothers, paquito d'rivera and rosa passos this too is a great recording. my only wish is that the bonus dvd would have had the actual concert footage on it.
