A classical aproach to a selection of the best Argentinian tangos-canciones of the golden period, neither opera nor dance music.

"la star portugaise du chant lyrique a délaissé le répertoire classique pour insuffler un peu de majesté au tango argentin...de sa captivante voix de velours et de métal et grâce à son lyrisme et sa majesté le tango s'offre un costume classique."
Eliane Azoulay - TELERAMA
