This CD contains excerpts from a stage production of Maria de Buenos Aires done at Theatre Municipale de Tourcoing in November 1987 which also included special choreography by Juan Carlos Copes. In addition to Marconi on bandoneon the orchestra included about 30 musicians and 7 singers, plus 8 dancers. The names of the songs were altered from the original compositions by Piazzolla/Ferrer and although they correspond to the original Opera are not catalogued here.
