I received the Piazzolla - Wieniawski tape from Zavalinka Records, and it is possibly the best such duet recording that I have heard.
Recorded live it has all the right attributes and it is joy to listen to. Maintaining the proper balance between these two dissimilar instruments is a challenge. Many similar recordings fail in that regard with piano often dominating instead of complementing the violin. Here they both work together in a nearly perfect union. The ambiance sound is also captured to remarkable degree.
All in all, a great effort and a wonderful tape to add to any collection.
