CD Reviews

From the old guard to the golden age

DANIEL BELLER | 01/22/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Harlequin's release of "Roberto Firpo 1920-1944" is a rare oportunity to hear both acoustic and electric recordings of Don Roberto Firpo, tango maestro, a forming figure of the argentinian tango. The tracks on this release, taken from original 78 RPM records, bring both the taste of the old guard of tango - listen to Rosendo Mendizabal's "El entrerriano" or to a master rendition of Angel Villoldo's "El choclo" and of course, of the golden age - as in Blomberg and Maciel's "Violines Gitanos", also a big hit for Ignacio Corsini. Today, seventy or eighty years after they were recorded, the 23 tracks in this CD are an insight into one of the father figures of the eternal tango. Wether you love tango, or are ready to give a chance to some music from the heart - let the music of Firpo take you to old time Buenos Aires, to the era of guapos and victrolas, to Hotel Victoria and the Hansen's and you'll see why tango is called "a feeling to dance to"."
