Astor Piazzolla - The American Clavé Recordings • 2022 Nonesuch (Germany)

This is really cool.  Beautiful music.  Arrived today.  Gave the first album of this three disc set another listen on the digital streamer earlier this evening, saving the record for a nightcap and comparison.  Of course the record gives so much more - that’s expected but in this case, wow, all the things I love about records are here on display.  Warmth, detail, tonal accuracy, liquid sweetness, natural overlapping of instruments, natural harmonics.  It sounds so real.  The digital version was exciting and conveyed the musical ideas but the record, wow, so much emotion.   If anyone who loves good music played this album on their home stereo without being moved I’d be really surprised.
