Astor Piazzolla takes us on a sensual and creative journey to Argentina. The bandoneon player and composer revolutionised Tango Argentino and created Tango Nuevo from the mid-1950s onwards - his name is mentioned in the same breath as this style. But this art form brought a lot of unrest into his life: Traditionalists threatened him because he dared to change the original sounds. At the same time, his career made him a national hero. Classical Argentino was no longer danceable in the conventional sense, but something new, exciting, groundbreaking was born. The sonic expedition is a great pleasure, inviting the listener to listen closely, but also to immerse himself in another world.

UHQCD stands for Ultimate High Quality Compact Disc and is a joint development of the Japanese CD replication company Memory-Tech and the Audio Quality CD Company from Hong Kong. Unlike conventional CDs, UHQCDs are not pressed from polycarbonate, but cast from a photopolymer and cured with UV light. Another layer of high-purity polycarbonate is applied to the softer photopolymer for scratch protection. The combination results in significantly reduced reflection of laser light inside the CD and an unmatched precise edge transition between pits and lands of the CD. UHQCDs are 100% compatible with standard CD players. Musically, the result is a sound image strongly reminiscent of analog master tapes.
