The playing is magnificent and the music of Astor Piazzolla is played with great emotion.
A great record!!!”

“Libertango 5tet's choice of the Argentinian tango as a launching point for their music is a masterstroke.
They've taken a form that already contains elements from many styles of music, and invested their unique virtuosity and intelligence to produce a completely personalized and fresh extension of the tango and beyond. Their CD is beautifully produced, their musicianship of the very highest order”.

“I really enjoyed the CD… really good improvisers... all.
I also really like how you use the Mediterranean theme for the recording. And picked such nice tunes... the album has a concept and I like that.
Again congratulations on such a beautiful CD!
Hope to see you soon!!”

Point of No Return
“The music of this band is a unique and joyous thing to hear. Having lived and played for over 30 years with a band that also finds new approaches to composition and improvisation while keeping a healthy respect for tradition, this CD reaffirms my faith in the musical possibilities that can be reached by a group of dedicated and extremely talented musicians.
”Libertango 5tet” not only has the inspiration to write and perform this vast variety of music, but also has the virtuosity to make it sound effortless. The music has wit, depth, and a display of imagination that is rarely heard in the world of improvisation.
I hope that this band will be heard by the wide audience it deserves, for our ears also deserve to hear this special music”.
