On the CD at hand; Hannes Pohlit plays the debut recording of the complete cycle. It contains lyrical and dramatical fantasies on tango standards like "El Día Que Me Quieras"; "Por Una Cabeza" and "Sus Ojos Se Cerraron" as well as complex showpieces which due to their virtuosity remind one of Liszt's "Mephisto Waltz" or opera fantasies. The album is a homage both to the emotional world of the sung classical tango as well as to the exalted romantic salon. It presents the Blüthner Aliquot grand piano as a symphonic instrument and Hannes Pohlit as a versatile stylistic composer as well as a technically superior pianist.
