Tango Recommendation


I am looking for recommendations for good tango recordings. Unfortunately, most highly rated tango recordings are from 1920-1950. I don’t want that. I want tango played in 90’s or later and are well recorded. Currently, I have three records:

A Passion for Tango Angel 1994 CDC554857
Tangos Among Friends Teldec 1996
Symphonic Tango, Teldec 1991

Could you recommend tango recordings better than those? I also have some Chinese/Taiwanese tango CD’s. They kept the rhythms, but left out spirit and passion. I really like Adios Muchachos' style, but I cannot enjoy the recordings, even digitally remastered. I like to hear tango in different styles. I’m thinking about choosing from

Tango Zero Hour
Latinismo Dance: Tango
El Magico Acordeon, Orfeon Label
Tango Bar, Chesky
Cafe Tango: Instrumental Tango Dreams

Please comment on these and also make your recommendations.

The original cast recording of Tango Argentino (Atlantic 7 81636-2) is hauntingly beautiful. It exudes drama and passion. The Tango Project I (Nonesuch 9 79057-2) and Two To Tango/The Tango Project II ( Nonesuch 79030-2) have current sonics and have the beat as it should be. These are truly beautiful to listen to.
