“This album: Tango, mon Amour!, in French, is the latest from pianist Maria Martinova, who offers a supercharged tribute to tango, the tango she loves, the tango with which she has formed an intense physical relationship, which she describes in the booklet, and which she translates here behind her keyboard, in a very crafted sound recording, at once close, rounded and resonant. The playing is of a crazy intensity. The energy is colossal, the involvement completely unreserved.”

“The album takes us into the most passionate dance of all dances: tango. Pianist Maria Martinova wonders what tango really is. She finds the right answer: "It's a love story. It's a drama. It's joy. It's sadness. It's humor. It's passion. It's intimacy. And more, and more..." With a powerful piano playing, sometimes very raw, sometimes affectionate and loving but always virtuoso, Maria Martinova interprets this music remarkably, including the long-standing hit "Libertango" by Astor Piazzolla. And it shows: Maria Martinova lives for tango, in all its facets.”

“Maria Martinova's new album "Tango, mon Amour!" is a tribute to the most popular of all South American dances. The Bulgarian-born pianist devotes herself to both original compositions and arrangements by tango masters such as Agustín Bardi, José Dames and Horacio Salgán. For her album, the Bulgarian pianist has chosen highly virtuoso arrangements that transform tangos into pieces of pianistic bravura. Piazzolla's hit "Adios Nonino" is closer to Rachmaninoff, while "Nunca Tuvo Novio" is presented as a jazz improvisation. A simply thrilling encounter with tango. Captivating and intoxicating, performed with brilliance, mastery and dedication by Maria Martinova.”

“ "Tango, mon Amour!" is a celebration of Maria Martinova’s obsession with tango. Her passion is infectious and there are some alluring discoveries to be found. The remainder of the program is devoted to the most famous exponent of Nuevo Tango, Astor Piazzolla. His music is well known and Martinova plays it with the same conviction that she brings to the rest of her recital. The undiscovered tango composers and the splendid interpretations deserve a more than enthusiastic recommendation.”
- International Piano Magazine

“Martinova's playing is technically dazzling, and the ferocious energy she brings to the repertoire can be at times a little overwhelming. Martinova must  be commended for her uncompromising approach to this rich repertoire: she is clearly totally committed to the form. As such, this explosive album is not for the faint-hearted and, given that it is tango, perhaps that is as it should be.”
- BBC Music Magazine

“With her new album “Tango, mon Amour!”, Maria Martinova presents a work that reflects her deep connection to tango. The combination of strong personal expression and musical sophistication makes “Tango, mon Amour!” an emotional and fascinating listening experience.”

“Between Maria Martinova and tango, it's a crazy love. Martinova's new recording is entirely devoted to this tango whose history she has followed with its great composers and performers. The result is spectacular. The playing is powerful, orchestral and imperial.”
