Le Grand Tango

De uitzonderlijke technische beheersing van de Katona’s bereikt samen met de fameuze bandoneón speler Alfredo Marcucci grote hoogte in het gracieus en intiem gespeelde Milona op deze integere cd.

full of flair, drama and passion .... Credit must go to the recording engineer of Channel Classics for achieving a really warm, vibrant but clear sound as well as to the performers. (…)

This latest album from the Katona Twins fully sustains the fully standards set by their previous three releases for Channel Classics. (…) the seductively spacious and forceful recording assumes even more authority and believable when the Sacd track is activated. Highly recommended

The Katona’s constantly shape their effortless virtuosity so that the phrases and accents fall in the right places, conjuring up the smoke between the notes. (...) (...) The Carducci Quartet and bassist Daniel Storer embrace the guitarists with their beefy and slithery decorative gestures in Hommage à Liege and the nifty little Fugata that opens the disc. You’ll swear that a string orchestra’s in the room. This cd is a must, if you’re a Piazzolla fan interested in 54 minutes of sonic and musical exhilaration!!

Original combination of elegance and earthiness. A rare achievement.

Golden Ear Award: The Absolute SoundA beautifully played disc of very different arrangements of Piazzolla’s music. "C. Jared Sacks' DSD recordings - vocal, choral, piano, orchestral – are consistently wonderful and this one's another gem".... a fabulous guitar technique and highly refined musical instincts.... This is a beautifully made guitar recording, with loads of detail and startling dynamics, close-up but without much sound of fingers sliding on strings (the twins get some credit for that, of course) (…) Every aspect of the Katona’s astounding virtuosity is here to savor.
