Title: On the nuevo side
Review: This is definitely a 'tango nuevo' CD (not meant to be danced to, but rather to be listened to), and quite a good one. Most of the tracks are atmospheric and immersive.The 2 musicians are in very good shape, although I don't think their styles really match. The pianist (canadian Linda Lee Thomas)'s vision is more 'civilised', so to speak, while Binelli's vision is more 'sordid'. (Forgive the weakness of my words). What they have in common, though, is genuine passion, and their timing is perfect. The pianist has a gorgeous and polished sound, with flawless technique, and Binelli shows his incredible mastery of the bandoneon, sometimes to a frightening degree. His vision of tango may appear a bit too 'dark' for some listeners, but the quality of his playing alone is enough to win you over.
