Allison Brewster Franzetti - The Unknown Piazzolla - 1999

Except for Vayamos al diablo, Milonga en re, and Milonga sin palabras, all other selections are 'early' works, composed between 1943 and 1953 by Piazzolla, before his time in Paris studying with Nadia Boulanger.

The listing gives "Tanguango" as title of the second track while in reality it is "Tanguano" (composed in 1949 , while Tanguango is a different piece from 1951) - thanks to Ramiro Carambula for pointing this out.

Musicians:

Brewster Franzetti (Allison) - piano

Falcon (Hector) - violin
