James Manheim gives a 4.5 Star Rating to José Serebrier’s Last Tango Before Sunrise recording on AllMusic.com:
“The works on the album stretch from [1957] all the way up to 2018 for the titular Last Tango Before Sunrise, but there is general stylistic consistency among them, although the sense of tonality varies. All are infused with Latin American rhythms, either the tango, as characteristic of Serebrier’s native Uruguay as it is of Argentina, or from Afro-Brazilian lands, as in the Symphony for Percussion or the hyperkinetic Candombe. What makes his rhythmic treatments especially appealing is that the rhythmic influences may be direct, or more subtle, or sometimes both in the same composition. … Absolutely anything on here would enliven a symphonic concert or keyboard recital… there’s a sense that the musicians play the pieces with love. The sound was recorded in various locations but is clean and mastered well into a coherent whole.”
