a priceless gem..........2004-12-23

I have the hobby (for lack of a better word) of picking up a tune and exploring all its different versions. Lately I was exploring the classic bolero "La historia de un amor". I must've found some 50 odd versions of it and was almost wrapping up on it, when I wandered to the Quintango website and chanced upon a clip of a tango-ized version of this song by Quintango. I knew I'd found a rare gem. I must've played the clip some 20-30 times over! Quintango's version of it heavenly, and can instantly trigger a flood of emotions, and I know Ive found a gem. I'm on my way to purchasing all their CDs.

"Secret Places" is a delight........2002-06-03

Recommended for people who like to listen to tango music. This is Washington DC's best-known and most recorded tango ensemble. They have played at the Kennedy Center, the White House, and the Pan American Union, as well as the Argentine Embassy. The ensemble includes 2 violins, double bass, cello, and piano. All musicians have impeccable academic credentials and have performed professionally with regional symphony orchestras.

The music on the disk contains a lot of favorites: "La Cumparsita," "El dia que me querias," "Nueve de Julio," "Taquito militar," "Tus besos fueron mios," and "Caminito." There are only two pieces by Piazzola. I mentioned that because some dancers do not like disks that have a preponderance of pieces by Piazzola. Yes, some people stay away from "tango nuevo." Dancers will recognize the names Carlos Gardel, Gerardo Rodriguez, Mariano Mores, and Juan de Dios Filberto. The arrangements are great, and the presentation is delightful.

Secret Places.......2000-09-15

This is a most thrilling CD. The music is vibrant and each attack is crisp and in tune. Tango appreciation has taken a huge step forward with QuinTango and anyone that listens to this fine CD connot fail to be converted. I was lucky enough to see this group perform in the Kennedy Center to an overflowing audience and they are as superb live as they are on this CD.

You don't have to tango to love this recording.......2000-09-15

It's lush. It's sensual. It's soothing. When you listen to Quintango (either in person or on one of their CDs) you are transported to the beauty of the tango. As much fun as it is to watch (and I've been told - to dance), it's splendid to hear this group play tango music. This is a must for any lover of tango and its music and even for those who are not familiar with either. Try it, you'll love it.
