Bailando Tango
This series is entirely deleted. Contact us to find out whether we have any remaining stock of the cd you are looking for. At the last count, we had the Pugliese CD.
16 new individual artist CDs and one compilation on this EMI series released in 2002 featuring instrumental recordings only. Despite being titled Bailando Tango (Dancing Tango) the series features many modern orchestas such as those of Mores, Garello, Maderna, Piazzolla which are really better suited for listening.
14 tracks per CD (mostly) is a little less generous than some other series, but still more than most tangueros will be paying close attention to at a single listening. The graphic design is also far better than much of what has come out of Argentina.
An excellent catalogue, particularly the compilation album which is a must for Mariano Mores's Tanguera.

Aníbal Troilo

Varios Interpretes
EMI 520434
16 tracks, one from each artist in this series. Don't be fooled, as I was, by the misprint on the back cover - Astor Piazzolla is included. Great way to pick up Tanguera and other tracks.

Osvaldo Fresedo
EMI 532998
We've become accustomed to thinking of Fresedo's best recordings as dating from before 1938 and the departure of singer Roberto Ray. This album paints a slightly different picture and shows that, at least for a while in the early 50s, Fresedo experimented with the innovations of Troilo and his arranger Astor Piazzolla. The milongas in particular crack along - worth a listen.
Track List
- La viruta
- Prepárense

Héctor Varela
EMI 533183
Varela was D'Arienzo's first bandoneón in the 1940 orchestra - you can hear him showing off in , for instance, Tierra Negra. Of his recordings with his own orchestra the instrumentals are the best which makes this cd the best choice for a cd of his music.
