This album was recorded by Giulio Cesare Ricci at the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music in Rome in May 2001.
The star of the show is Maestro Salvatore Accardo, violinist and director of the Italian Chamber Orchestra.
Worthy of note is Accardo's violin revision of the album's most famous piece, "Le Grand Tango," which gives the album its title.
The relationship between the musician Astor Piazzolla and Salvatore Accardo was one of friendship and great mutual respect.
For this recording, Giulio Cesare Ricci used original Neumann U47, U48, and M49 tube microphones, along with all his equipment: Signoricci microphone preamplifiers, digital cables, line cables, microphone cables, and power supplies.
For this recording, Giulio Cesare Ricci also used a "field effect" recording technique, resulting in a natural sound, without the use of equalizers, sound expansion, or compression systems... all to allow listeners to experience the live effect through their home hi-fi system, as if they were present at the performances.
An album not to be missed!
