Golden Ear Award: The Absolute Sound:
"A beautifully played disc of very different arrangements of Piazzolla's music."

Gramophone:
"The Katona's constantly shape their effortless virtuosity so that the phrases and accents fall in the right places, conjuring up the smoke between the notes....The Carducci Quartet and bassist Daniel Storer embrace the guitarists with their beefy and slithery decorative gestures in Hommage à Liege and the nifty little Fugata that opens the disc. You'll swear that a string orchestra's in the room. This cd is a must, if you're a Piazzolla fan interested in 54 minutes of sonic and musical exhilaration!!"
