Biography

  Dos encuentros con los principales coleccionistas de Tango's biography

The history of phonography. Lost albums on extinct formats.

Following last year’s experience, the other two gatherings of collectors will be coordinated by researcher and teacher Gabriel Soria, the vice presdent of the Academia Nacional del Tango (Tango National Academy). The collectors will be talking about their extensive experience in treasuring albums, and the audience will delight in the sound of historic pieces in their original formats. The first meeting will deal with the art of recording, with the guest presence of José Soler, a musician, violinist and recording engineer of the Odeón studio since the fifties. He was the technical engineer of the orchestras of Osvaldo Pugliese, Alfredo De Angelis, Aníbal Troilo, Roberto Firpo and Francisco Canaro. He will be recounting anecdotes about those years when the great classics were being recorded. The second session will feature the participation of Héctor Lucci, a collector of phonographic devices and cylinders, and Bruno Cespi, who boasts a massive collection of photographs and scores. Lost recordings on different formats will be played and discussed by them and a group of fellow collectors.
