It was towards the end of the 80s, I lived in New York and I went from time to time to stroll in Central Park, one day I was sitting on a railing in front of a small kiosk, men dressed in black came and played in the kiosk, like that, it was Astor Piazzola and few other musicians. Until i wrote this message i was wondering why they offered us this gift, like that, but now i understand, they wanted to tell, that their music was a real free gift.

I don't know if Gods exist, but there are humans who make music like them. Thank you Astor Piazzolla, wherever you are.

It never fails..Piazzolla and his magic send me back to my youth, and to an Argentina that only exists in my memory. And again I discover that I never really left my beloved country. It was only my body leaving it for more than four decades. But I forgot my heart, soul and love for this incredible music there.

Piazzolla, me faz sempre chorar de tristeza/ alegria por poder escutar uma das mais bonitas músicas de todos os tempos . Viva Argentina / Brasil !

I just discovered Astor Piazolla. THANK GOD! What music!!!

Oblivion, by the great Piazzolla, is a song that makes my soul dance.
I hear it performed by many artists and their instruments, in addition to its bandoneon always accompanied by divine violins.
Today I found this video with 15 of her presentations.
I thought I would get tired listening to it for an hour.
But I prepared for this. Alone on the farm, I turned off the TV and entered the comfort of silence.
I remembered that in this way, I had just refused to be torpedoed for the same amount of time, by a biased broadcaster, who would show me innocent blood in a championship of horror, of news about how my country is mortally contaminated, red, not with blood, but with archaic ideologies compounded by drugs and the destruction of families.
I would spend, as I spent the same amount of time, among accordions, pianos, violins, bandoneons, all rocking envious dances of love between a couple, from ballets to ice and a wonderful voice, romantic and warmed by the French language.
Ah, what a good exchange I made!
I offer it to you.
But if you don't have that time, save the offer and use it in a fragmented way in 15 portions of beauty, at a time that suits you best...

Astor Piazzolla, desencadena la pasión por vivir, la sensibilidad al oir esta melodía que recorre el cuerpo con cada nota, el erotismo imposible de tocar con sólo respirar y exhalar cada acorde....es Dios dentro de uno...es todos en uno sólo. Belleza sublime de su música que inspira éste breve comentario.

[fredm]

All the arrangements are very beautiful but for me, the first one is the one I would listen on and on.

[АнтонМихай-пу]

это Божественно!!! господь да сохронит эту музыку! через этих богом одарённых музыкантов!!! да здравствует гармония!!! гармония любви и сострадания!!!

[cathyc]

Something you think you are successfully to forget but once the music plays, you find it still there in your heart and it still hurts you. Or you have been long forgotten but you don’t aware being left alone.

[markwilliams]

Not a dry eye in the house. TY for the Oblivion banquet

[lamusicadililia]

Piango ad ascoltarli, è una bellezza tale che fa male, ferisce l’anima…🥲

[kemhass]

This piece of music unified people from the bottom of their heart... beautiful

[lazyanty]

Это не просто лекарство для души - волшебная пропорция разных - успокаивающее, пробуждающее, отвлекающее от суетного, собирающее разрозненные чувства и внимание воедино, стимулирующее к действию - простому и точному, но нежному и чувственному.

Minsk Orchestra + Mario Stefano Pietradarchi!

UNA DE LAS MAS SUBLIMES COMPOSICIONES DEL MAESTRO ASTOR EL ALMA A NIVELES MUY ALTOS. HERMOSA ME CANSARÉ DE ESCUCHARLA..

[arielgonzalez]

No componía música...
Eran una expresión de sentimientos expresados con sonidos del alma.
Eso era Piazzolla.

[reginalindermann]

Cuando llegue a Bs Aires, baje del coche y senti la musica de Piazzola pegada a cada centimetros de esas calles, tan unicas, tan suyas, su gente, esa inmensa ciudad...yo lo escuche en mi pais, y me conmovio...no entendi porque su musica no fue acaptada, tanto que lucho entregándose en cada nota para su gente que no lo comprendio...hoy no lo sé, ya tengo mas de 80 años, era tan joven cuando lleno mi alma con su musica, tan preciosa y unica...hoy la musica a cambiado, pero en el mundo su musica se eleva en plegaria hacia la vida, vida que le dio esa sensibilidad que llega hasta lo más profundo del alma, del espiritu...❤

[luifesall]

Admiro como el que más al gran Astor Piazzola y en verdad disfruté estas 15 versiones, como espero lo hagan todos, sean o no amantes del tango lento…y que aquí se repite, se repite y se repite… Como en cada inspiración que da lugar a un nuevo sueño y a otro… y a otro…

[gearmaestro]

Honestly, the harmonica version did it for me. I appreciate all the others as well, but there is something about the clear sweet tones of the harmonica that seems to draw out the emotions the best. The accordian and violin are a close second.
