Tango - a mixture of powerful feelings, great passion, deep melancholy... The pieces are a charming combination of the plaintive, soulful Argentinian tango and its light-footed European counterpart, of bossa nova, cool jazz and classical chamber music. In 1983, Peter Ludwig, a tango addict for over thirty years now, founded the legendary ensemble 'Tango Mortale'. As a composer and arranger, Peter Ludwig interprets the tango very much in his own style. His tangos are not of the exclusively gloomy, depressive and darkly emotional type we know from Argentina. His instrumental arrangements are characterised by his inspired imaginative power, which with each piece of music takes us on excursions into realms of fantasy and tells us stories of life, love and misfortune.

Gorgeous tango
Those of you who have read my review of Tango a Trois's second album Amour Fou will, I hope, excuse some repetition here. From my pen name I would be drawn to anything tango, but again I was delighted when I bought and listened for the first time to this album. Peter Ludwig (piano) leads this classical trio of Arben Spahiu (violin) and Peter Wopke (cello)in an enticing and captivating selection of original music composed by Ludwig. Whilst one can dance to some tracks, this is music to listen to and loose oneself in. This album is a joy: expression, skill, feeling and originality. For tango lovers, it is a must-have!

美しいタンゴ(愛聴盤)
2006年にCDでリリースされた作品を2013年に180g高音質アナログ盤として発売。弦楽器の甘い音色は適度な響きを持っていて相当な美音を聴かせる。タンゴというよりクラシック音楽に近いか、曲に癖がなく聴きやすい。本当に美しい曲ばかりでうっとりするほど。クリアで厚みのある音質と相まって愛聴盤として申し分ない。A1． E (03:31)A2． Hawai (03:59)A3． Cafe Banlieue (02:21)A4． L'apres-Midi (02:35)A5． Smalls (06:05)A6． Reims Rouge (02:42)A7． A.G.
