Recommendations on the music of Astor Piazzolla


Last night I attended a concert where one of the works was Piazzolla's "Concerto for Bandoneon and Orchestra" (1979). The soloist was Lidia Kaminski, a Polish accordion virtuoso. She played a small "accordion-like" instrument known as the Bandoneon.

The music was Argentine Tango style in three movements. The middle movement played with such grace, finesse and sadness by the soloist, I decided then and there to explore more of Piazzolla's work.

I am looking for LP recommendations of his work, including the one mentioned above.

In addition, I would urge folks to keep an eye out for Ms. Kaminski to be performing in your area. She will make you rethink the accordion.

Thanks Jazdoc!

I'll try to get my hands on the Assads as well as "Tango Zero Hour"

Ms. Kaminski just floored me last night. You could tell she was channeling Piazzolla while she played.
The LP titled "Sergio & Odair Assad" has 13 minute "Tango Suite" of Piazzolla.It's on the Nonesuch Digital Label unfortunately.
Slipknot1,

You're welcome! Let me know if you like these and/or if you find either of these on vinyl.

Regards
I second the 'zero hour' recommendation. I have it on vinyl and the LP sounds very good. I see it around occasionally...
