Recommendations on the music of Astor Piazzolla

Thank you all for the suggestions!

I know what you mean about the bandoneon. I was so blown away by what I heard that instrument in the hands of a virtuoso do last night, I rushed to put it in some context I could wrap my mind around. About the only thing they have in common is a bellows, like a Ferrari and a Chevy both have tires. A different animal altogether.

Ms. Kaminski was joined by an expert of the music of Astor Piazzolla in a pre-concert talk. His name escapes me, but he spoke with an Australian accent. He discussed the evolution of Piazzolla's music and the history of the music of the tango and the culture it developed out of. Very interesting.

Alot of great reccomendations, all of which I enjoy on a regular basis! However, no one has mentioned Gidon Kremer's very excellent 6 CD's:
Hommage a Piazolla
Astor Piazolla:El Tango [w/the irrepresible 'Che Tango Che']
Tracing Astor
Tango Blallet [my fave!]
eight Season's [4 by Viavaldi interspersed w/ 4 by Astor]
and lastly,
Maria de Buenos Aires

oh lest i forget, he also has a live concert in Central Park, 'Concerto Para Bandeon', and a 'jazz' set [I can't recall with who] 'The New Tango'.
His music has experienced a renassaince among a variety of
musicans from Yo Yo Ma to Al Di Meola.

Jlamb, I second your recommendation. Kremer is really good.

Although Slipknot1, I know you originally mentioned you want this music on vinyl, I urge you to check out Gidon Kremer's Piazzolla recordings on CD as well.
