Listened to: Cuarteto Rotterdam: Yunta De Oro

The CD discussions section must never be missing from a good tango blog. It is a very personal wish to recommend a current yet somewhat less well known CD. In 2007, Cuarteto Rotterdam recorded the CD entitled Yunta De Oro.

Enchanting! I bought the CD after a live appearance by the group at a milonga (incidentally together with the first CD from 2005). I have never regretted that purchase. Cuarteto Rotterdam impresses the listener with musical precision in an extremely successful combination with sensual, almost lyrical music recital. And this CD is therefore a true enrichment! It is (almost) danceable without limitation, it is also a CD for the melancholy times at home when one reclines on the living room sofa with a glass of red wine after a milonga. Wonderful!

This CD has accompanied me many times on my milonga travels to other cities. And on the way back home it always played in the car. Extremely relaxing.

On the quartet’s website one finds sample music pieces in MP3 format.
