A soulful and accomplished performer on the accordion-like bandoneón, Piazzolla is considered today one of the leading international composers of his time. His opus, comprising more than 1000 works, a characteristic career and an undoubtedly Argentinean flavor continues to influence the best musicians in the world including cellist YoYo-Ma, the Kronos Quartet, guitarist Al Di Meola, and numerous chamber music and symphonic orchestras.

Good Solid Performance by the Quinteto Nuevo
There only seem to be a few videos available of Piazzolla performing and this is currently (2012) the only one of what I would consider his most representative group - the Quinteto Nuevo. For that reason alone this is a must-see.The performance is outstanding and represents Piazolla's music at its best - virtuoso chamber music played with drive and passion. I would've wished for more material (at 53 minutes, it seems short) but we get what we get.I can also recommend Astor Piazzolla in Portrait which contains a biographical documentary with interviews and performance footage as well as a complete concert from 1989 with his Sextet - his last touring group.

Randy Bachman's longevity is amazing.
This is an awesome concert DVD. Randy Bachman continues to innovate and evolve his musical styles. This concert touches the old (Guess Who & Bachman Turner Overdrive) and the new Jazz Thing. He still can play the guitar with feeling and technique. I really enjoyed the interview portions to hear about his and his bands' history. I was stunned to find out that the completely awesome Jazz Thing 2 album (with the New Guitar Summit - Duke Robillard, J. Geils and Gerry Beaudoin) was recorded in an afternoon. Duke is on this DVD and plays exceptionally.

Quite possibly the worst recording quality of the best performance in the man's career. I'd avoid it.

Great performances, defective DVD
This is Astor in his later years, a "must have" for Piazzolla fans. But the copy I bought here hangs up on a disclaimer screen at the beginning and won't continue. The only way I can view the first segment is to go to #2, then rewind. Frustrating, someone dropped the ball in production. My player is an older Sony, but has usually been very capable, so I think it's an encoding problem. Be aware!

Piazzolla with power!
Astor Piazzolla, Fernando Suarez Paz, and Pablo Ziegler (and bass player Hector Console) rock the stage. This is powerful music. I would have loved to have been in the audience for this great performance. I am now a die hard fan of Piazzolla and his Tango Nuevo.
