While director Carlos Saura employs the eponymous, erotically tinged ballroom dance form both as vehicle and metaphor for his film's storytelling, Argentine composer and film and TV scorer Lalo Schifrin in turn uses the film's score as framework for a rich musical tapestry that stretches from the traditionally familiar ("El Choclo") to the dark, rhythmic fury of his own classical-dance fusion ("La Represion"). Schifrin, a six-time Oscar nominee and winner of four Grammy Awards, spent his early career as pianist for tango composing legend Astor Piazzolla; that experience, along with his accomplished classical, film, and jazz work, has informed a score that may both surprise traditionalists with its adventurous diversity and give the rest of us a thrilling introduction to a vibrant musical form that continues to evolve. Interspersed with Schifrin's marvelous original compositions is a generous sampling of traditional tango music from composers such as Piazzolla, Canario, Salgan, and Filiberto. --Jerry McCulley

Summary: Tango: The Music
Comment: What can I say but that both my wife and I have seen the movie the sound track comes from at least four times- one of those times at our local community college where it was hosted by Tango aficionados. We loved the motion picture and we definitely loved Lalo Schiffrin's soundtrack. I remember him from the sixties when he scored TV shows like Mission Impossible and Mannix. I suppose he returned to his native Argentina where he created this passionate music for the Spanish director Carlos Saura.

Summary: Classical tango in a modern way
Comment: The music on this CD is to large extent classical pieces, but with a fresh interpretation. You also find fine, melodious pieces composed for the movie. Sound-tracking the movie with the same title, the music is absolutely danceable! It's like a little piece of Buenos Aires entering your living room, your feet, and your ear.

Comment: I got this cd few days ago, the music is amazing. Actually, this is my first tango music album,after I watching this film. I love all the music inside.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A+ music but the CD case is cracked.
Comment: I should have saved $4 by buying it used. Then I would have expected a cracked CD case. Why is there no quality control for CD cases. It is a shame because the music is fabulous.
Customer Rating:
