Astor Piazzolla - Libertango & Piazzolla & Amelita Baltar

Two neat Piazzolla records. The first is a real bandoneon workout (all instrumental), lively, swirling, slyly humorous, dramatic; and Baltar's soupily soulful voice suits the style of song (melancholy, fluidly stop-start, almost spoken word at points, also dramatic) that appears on the second very well.

(More about Baltar here.)
