4 1/2 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE
 

This release contains the Ástor Piazzolla’s Quintet’s first two albums in their entirety. While Piazzolla ...o no? was, with the exception of two tracks, a selection of Piazzolla’s arrangements of works by other composers, Piazzolla interpreta a Piazzolla consisted mostly of the bandoneonist’s own compositions, including the first version of his celebrated “Adiós Nonino”, which he wrote after his father’s death.
