Editorial Review: From Amazon.co.uk: One day somebody was bound to do it, but it could have been totally naff: praise be, this tango Mass is a total success. Conceived by composer Luis Bacalov, an Argentinian Jew who lives in Rome, it welds what might be thought disparate elements--operatic solo voices and clubland instruments from Buenos Aires--into an entirely satisfying unity. Verdi is the first thought that comes to mind as the chorus begin the Kyrie, and the Gloria which follows it has strong echoes of Bernstein, hotly pursued--as a solo violin swings into tango rhythm--by Piazzolla. And it's appropriate that the last two tracks should be Bacalov's own arrangements of two Piazzolla classics, "Adios Nonino" and the immortal "Libertango". Bacalov himself officiates brilliantly at the piano: the tenor is none other than Plácido Domingo, in sweetly mellifluous voice. Myung-Whun Chung and the choir and orchestra of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia provide the musical foundations on which Hector Ulises Passarella weaves gracefully angular patterns on his bandoneon. --Michael Church Chronique amazon.fr: Le premier intérêt de ce disque est de juxtaposer deux conceptions fort contrastées du tango : celle de Luis Bacalov et celle de de Astor Piazzola. Le premier a écrit une œuvre pétrie de religiosité, de la musique sacrée en somme, dont l'éventail des émotions exprimées étonne dans d'incroyables combinaisons chœurs/orchestre, parfaitement servie par Placido Domingo et Ana Maria Martinez ; le second, avec son célèbre Libertango, a délibérément choisi de laisser "couler" sans retenue expressive la sensualité, la chaleur parfois torride propre à la latinité du tango. Myung-Whun Chung, à la tête de l'orchestre de l'Académie nationale Sainte-Cécile de Rome, s'en donne à cœur joie, laissant libre cours à la rythmique parfois virevoltante de ces pages. --Pierre Guillaume Customer Reviews

 Rating: - A work unlike any other in 1000 years of music historyI would like to congratulate first of all the composer, Mr. Bacalov; soprano Martinez, Mr. Domingo and Mr. Chung and his orchestra for a job well done. This mass in a tango style is like nothng else ever written before. Is an uplifting life affirming work, but yet full of the nostalgia of tango. The work is based on the Latin ordinary of the Catholic mass(Even though Mr.Bacalov is of Jewish faith)is written in Spanish. The Gloria is marked as "Tempo di Milonga" is a very nostalgic movement, yet full of joyful parts. The credo is also a joyful section which contains a very pronounced percussion section. The other works can be are arregements Read More: Rating: - Great mass!This is a great Mass work. It is good that Mr. Domingo and the people from Deutsche Grammophon recorded this work from Bacalov. Placido Domingo is great at always finding and recording new genders of music. I believe this is the first time this work is recorded. His recent recording of Albéniz "Merlin" (Decca London) is also a first. He is accompanied on both works by Ms.Ana Maria Martinez who in my oppinion has one of the best young voices today. She sings beautifully on both works. Her vocal range and musicality is one of the best my ears have listen to. I saw her live singing with Andrea Bocelli and she brought tears to my eyes. What a voice!! I will definetly buy more copies of Misa Tango to give to my friends this holiday season. |
