Inspired by a great passion for Astor Piazzolla's tango, The Soul Of The Tango is a critically acclaimed and essential work of the "Nuevo Tango", played by Yo-Yo Ma's world famous cello and many of Piazzolla's former friends and colleagues. Overall, the album is a stunning work of art, and even those that may not have heard of Piazzolla could easily be lured to his music via this single album.

"The sheer beauty of one of Piazzolla's tangos is generally enough to warrant the purchase of an album involving them. An album such as this one, where all of the songs are compositions by Piazzolla is even better."
