With her big, powerful contralto and a vibrato that she commanded with effortless ease, Cangiano was seemingly born to sing the Piazzolla songbook that she explores on her new cd (…)she delivered a mix of iconic and obscure Piazzolla with dramatic intensity and a feel for the material that bordered on telepathic. But as much heavy lifting as there was going on, Cangiano saved her most dramatic flourishes, including a surprisingly impressive upper register, for those few moments where she had to take a crescendo and then deliver another one on top of that" LUCID CULTURE, NYC, DECEMBER 2008
"Cangiano's approach to singing is that of an actress; she invests each word with meaning, focusing less on the strict musical aspects of the performance. Piazzolla's compositions lend themselves to this treatment, as Cangiano shows on her new self-produced CD "Ballads for My Life and Death" APRIL 2009, ALL ABOUT JAZZ (SUZANNE LORGE)
