Product description CD: Yo-Yo Ma,Soul of the Tango .co.uk Yo-Yo Ma might seem like an unlikely protagonist for the tango, but this intrepid musical explorer has taken his task seriously, collaborating with experienced tango musicians. Ma even participates in a posthumous collaboration with one 1987 Piazzolla recording. Furthermore, while he's obviously the headliner here, he doesn't dominate the arrangements nearly as much as he does the billing and photography of the disc. While the result isn't your essential Piazzolla album (that would have to include more of the composer's own playing), it's an atmospheric and convincing collection, perhaps a good introduction for those who don't know the music. --Leslie Gerber

Not quite as expected
When I ordered this cd I imagined all the pieces would be conventional tango. They were not and I was someone disappointed. However, if I set aside the reason why I originally ordered it, I find I do like the music. It's great to have in the background and I love cello anyway.

disappointing
YYM is a gifted cellist and many people will like this but I found it struggles beside the competition.

superb
YoYoMa is both a great cellist, and an inovator of musical styles. This is a great selection of takes on the Astor Piazzola's Accordion tango music.

Music for the soul
And not to be confused with soul music. All the character of music created with passion to dance to with equal passion.
