Misa Tango

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
One day someone was bound to do it, but it could have been totally daft; praise be, this tango Mass is a total success. Conceived by composer Luis Bacalov, an Argentinean Jew who lives in Rome, it welds what might be considered 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 begins the Kyrie, and the Gloria that 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

    5 out of 5 stars A work unlike any other in 1000 years of music history.......2001-10-18

    I 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
    of works by Astor Piazzola arrenged by Mr. Bacalov
    for full orchestra are very nostalgic and sensual
    pieces. Mr.Pasarella, does a wonderful work on
    the bandoneon(an accordion like instrument popular
    in Argentinian tango).Thank you all one more time
    for a work well done.

    5 out of 5 stars Great mass!.......2000-11-22

    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.
