In the early 1980s, while Domingo was already at the pinnacle of the world of opera, he, as a singer raised in Mexico, maintained a strong interest in Latin American music, and this recording was realized in Buenos Aires in 1981. The accompaniment was provided by the Roberto Pansera Orchestra, which led a first-class tango orchestra at the time, with all arrangements newly made by Pansera. Domingo's flexible and warm tenor voice fits well with the deep melancholy and passion of the tango, and one can feel a natural affinity for Latin culture, rather than an opera singer simply singing in a classical style. However, while there was criticism that "the voice is too beautiful, diminishing the raw essence of the tango," many praised its high quality and musical integrity. It is globally recognized as a masterpiece that demonstrates Domingo's versatility and sincerity. Furthermore, it became a pioneer of the "classical singer singing popular music" project, and became the foundation for his later crossover path (Latin albums, bolero collections, collaboration projects with popular music).
