Hommage a Piazzolla: The Complete Astor Piazzolla Recordings (8CD)

Nonesuch Records presents violinist Gidon Kremer's Hommage à Piazzolla, The Complete Astor Piazzolla Recordings. The eight-disc box set brings Kremer's six previously released recordings of the Argentine composer's music together for the first time, including four Nonesuch releases-Hommage à Piazzolla (1996), El Tango (1997), Eight Seasons (2000), and Tracing Astor (2001) - and two that were released by Teldec - the opera María de Buenos Aires (1998, two CDs) and Tango Ballet (1999). The set's seventh album, which is being released for the first time, features a 14-song live recording from the CBC's Glenn Gould Studio from 1997; composer and fellow Argentine Osvaldo Golijov has written the liner notes.
