Amsterdam Meets New Tango is a concert recording, but it feels more ambitious and purposeful than that. Not only do the soloists have plenty of room to tell their stories (check out the dialogue between Sinesi and Castro on “Blues Porteño”), Ziegler’s compositions are cinematic, conjuring pictures of the countryside (“Milonga”), a city’s dynamism (the itchy Buenos Aires tracks), an urban stroll at dusk (the sparkling “Places”) and romance (Ziegler and Sinesi’s “conversation,” set against the Orkest’s swooning strings on “Pájaro Ángel” is creamy, almost classical).
