Astor Piazzolla imagined Album “La Hora Cero” as the time after midnight, “an hour of absolute end and absolute beginning.” Early in his career, Piazzolla titled one of his breakthrough pieces “Buenos Aires Hora Cero.” It could not be by chance that, as he was entering his autumn days, he called the album that summed up decades of hard work and carried deep personal hopes and professional expectations, Tango Zero Hour. By the mid-1980s, Astor Piazzolla had long been celebrated in Europe, and finally been given the respect he deserved in his native Argentina. The irony was that despite his American upbringing, recognition in the United States still eluded him. Piazzolla rarely visited New York after leaving the city in 1960. When he returned briefly to record Zero Hour, twenty six years later, he was musically at a peak.
