“Fiery and sexy performance, a whole world of tango that is wild, tender, caressing, brutal and melancholic. Their performance will steal every-body’s heart.” MARIA SUSANA AZZI Piazzolla’s Biographer

"Schupperner and Macchioni are an expert duo. They play as one, and are fully in sympathy with this style of music."

PHILLIP SCOTT, Fanfare Magazine

"He plays these endlessly evocative works with understanding and seeming ease—bringing out their lovely melodies, finding tempos that seem quite right, and expertly balancing their wit, gravity, and passion." KILPATRICK-American Record Guide

"Listening to him play it is evident Macchioni is a musician and performer of great sensibility."

RAY PICOT-ILAMS, London

When an idiom becomes so present in our consciousness that it can be as quoted, used, and transformed as the tango has been, that idiom deserves our attention. This book admirably fills that need and expands our understanding of the rich influence that the tango continues to have on American music.
