I had the pleasure dancing to music off this disc in a stage play, and I can assure you that "the tango scene" was one of the most spellbinding moments of the whole show, mostly due to the expression and passion that Viveza poured into the tracks of this recording - the dancers couldn't help but reflect it back to the audience. This CD is now right at the top of my rotation - I can't go many days without needing my tango fix. A must have disc!

Whoa!, Dec 22 2004

These performances take you into the dreamy passionate trance that is the soul of Tango. The musicality of the solo violinist Gwen Thompson is sheer artistry. So many moments make me swoon or give me goosebumps --- my objective test of a music's power. Because of the small ensemble size, it does not have the sforzando of the large Tango orchestras, but this is Tango at its most intimate. The real standouts are "Schreib Mir Einen Brief!" and "Por Una Cabeza". I can't wait to dance with my favorite Tango partner to this music. Why it only available here used for sixty smackers I don't understand. A search on comparison web sites shows it in stock at WalMart, where I got mine. Also, the listing here doesn't reveal that the band is called Viveza.

Vastly different from piece to piece. Great fun for anyone who wants more than your typical tango arrangement. Strongly recommended for couples or romantics souls who are looking for a little "background passion" around the house.
