The Trio de Curda performs a program of Tango and Latin music, built around Astor Piazzolla’s monumental “Libertango”, which gives this album its name.
Recorded “off-the-floor” on 1/4″ Analog Tape on a Nagra IV-S Tape Recorder in CCIR eq curve, with no overdubs and no editing. This is a wonderful, spontaneous, direct recording by René Laflamme at L’Église St-Jean Baptiste in Montreal on October 28, 2019. Only one Neumann Stereo Tube Microphone (SM69) was used in the Pure Blumlein microphone technique.
The album was transferred from Analog Tape to Stereo DXD and DSD by Rene Laflamme at 2xHD Mastering. A Stereo DSD 512 edition of Libertango was created by Tom Caulfield at the NativeDSD Mastering Lab.

Enjoyable album. Subtle yet emotional rendition of Piazzolla works. Recommended.
