Euro Records
Colección 78rpm
The second set of releases on Euro Records, Colección 78rpm presents golden age material from the BMG catalogue, recovered not from masters this time but as the name implies from 78rpm discs. Euro Records have taken a lot of care over this project, choosing only 78s in good condition and making good transfers in which the bass notes are more present than normal.
There are some fabulous CDs in this catalogue. For the dancer, the Láurenz, Lomuto, and Donato discs become the standard cds of these artists, whilst there are also great discs from Di Sarli.
For the listener there are some wonderful discs too, particularly those collecting some recordings from the female voices of the golden age.

Osmar Maderna 1946/1951EU 17002In 1945, Miguel Caló's Orchestra of the Stars went supernova and its wonderful players went off to pursue their own artistic ambitions. Amongst them was their pianist, Osmar Maderna. His ethereal touch had been definitive in the sound of the Caló orchestra and led to him being dubbed the Chopin of tango. As with his contempories, his new outfit (formed in 1946) gave him more artistic freedom. This is most evident when he takes on Rimsky Korsakov's The Flight of the Bumble Bee and transforms it into a delightful milonga. Concierto En La Luna and Lluvia De Estrellas are less successful, sounding like little more than an opportunity for Maderna to showcase his piano playing. But Maderna is not a slave to innovation and he still creates some very danceable themes. The waltzes in particular are a delight. If the voice of Mario Corrales sounds familiar, then that's because this is non other than Mario Pomar, who would later succeed with Carlos Di Sarli's orchestra. Track listEl Vuelo Del Moscardon (The Flight of the Bumble Bee) milonga; Malva; Concierto En La Luna; Gracias; Ojos Negros; Plomo; Se Perdio El Amor Rincones De Paris; Pastora; Lluvia De Estrellas; Para Ti Madre vals; Charamusa; Pequeña vals; Cuando No Te Quiere Nadie; Divina; La Cumparsita; Escalas En Azul; La Huella; Los Mareados; Mimi Pinson Cantan:Orlando Verri (2,4,6); Pedro Datila (7,14); Mario Corrales (8); Mario Corrales / Pedro Datila (9,11); Hector De Rosas (13,15); Adolfo Rivas (19.20); Instrumental (1,3,5,10,12,16,17,18); |

Aldo Calderon Y Jorge Casal 1952/1957EU 17006Recordings by Troilo's singers after they had gone solo, very much in the 1950s Troilo style. Great singing, especially from Casal, but mostly not enough compás for dancing.

Voces Femeninas Vol.1 1929/1961EU 17007This is Argentina's answer to El Bandoneón's and what a wonderful cd this is. Tita Merello with the Típica Victor, the wonderful Dora Davies, and much more. Track list
Que Careta: Tita Merello / Orquesta Típica Victor |

Juan D'Arienzo 1941/1944EU 17010Surprisingly good D'Arienzo album, a good selection for this early 40s period. Especially nice to hear the 1943 La cumparsita".

Juan D'Arienzo 1944/1949EU 17011Some of you will be asking: do we need another album of Juan D'Arienzo? Well, perhaps not, but these fourties tracks are worth a listen Track listEl Huracán; Yo me llamo Eloy Peralta milonga; El romántico Aparcero; Pregonera; La galarcita La espuela milonga; Te espero en Rodriguez Peña; Lo mismo que ayer vals; No tienes corazón; Me grita el corazón; Sábado Inglés; Tiene razón amigazo; Por dos caminos; Hotel Victoria; Eterna vals; Caña; Delfino; El rey del compás; Unión cívica Cantan:Alberto Echagüe (2,8,13,14,16); Echagüe - Laborde (4,9) Armando Laborde (5,10,17); Instrumental (1,3,6,7,11,12,15,18) |

Angel D'Agostino 1941/1953EU 17012The real deal - 20 tracks of Angel D'Agostino. Just six are with Angel Vargas, including one not previously reprinted on CD (Solo compasión). The instrumental La chiflada is also reprinted for the first time. The rest of the CD is dedicated to the singers whom D'Agostino recruited to replace Angel Vargas when he went solo, Tino García and Rubén Cané. Both were chosen for their resemblance to Vargas and Rubén Cané in particular does an excellent job of imitating his predecessor. Track listSolo compasión; Oiga mozo; La chiflada; Yo tengo una novia vals; En lo de Laura milonga; Y te dejé partir; Muñequita El morocho y el oriental milonga; Alma de bohemio; Era en otro Buenos Aires; Carnavales de mi vida; Argañaraz; Café de Barracas; Un copetín; No aflojes; Esquinas porteñas; Muchacho; Carnaval de mi barrio; Como queres que te quiera; Ella Cantan:Angel Vargas (1,2,4,5,7,8); Raúl Aldao (6); Tino Garcia (9-13,19,20); Rubén Cané (14-16,17); Rubén Cané / Tino Garcia (18); |

Osvaldo Fresedo 1938/1948EU 17013Not Fresedo at his best. The harp is beginning to take over, and once Roberto Ray departs (end of track two) the sugar overload kicks in... pass this one up unless you like candy floss. Track listTelon; Ojos Muertos; Y No Puede Ser!; Inquietud; Rosarina Linda; Vida Querida; Si El Corazon Supiera; Alas; Es Costumbre O Es Cariño; Llamada De Amor Porteño; En Este Rincon Amigo; Negra Maria milonga; Te Llama Mi Violin; Este Viejo Corazón; Fui Testigo; En Cada Puerto Un Adiós; Noches Largas; La Lluvia Y Yo; Por Calles Muertas; Cafetín De Buenos Aires; Cantan:Roberto Ray (1,2); Ricardo Ruiz (3,6,8,11); Carlos Mayel (7,9,10 Carlos Roldan (12 Oscar Serpa (14-18 |

Orquesta Típica Victor 1930/1944EU 17014Produncing a good CD of the fabulous Orquesta Típica Victor shouldn't be difficult - just find 20 tracks in good fidelity and print them Nevertheless, Euro Records nearly snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by including 7 tracks selected for the RCA Victor 100 Años CD. Why would they do this? Maybe because they knew that BMG Argentina were going to delete that excellent release. With three tracks sung by Angel Vargas, this is an outstanding release. Track listEl chamuyo; Carillón de la merced; Don Juan; Llámame "H"; C.T.V.; Amor y celos vals; El pibe; Jueves; Fue su destino; Clavel del aire; Adiós Buenos Aires; Sin rumbo fijo vals; Incertidumbre; Desesperanza; Tango milonguero; Intima; Senda de abrojos; Bajo el cono azúl Cantan:Ernesto Famá (2); Alberto Gómez (3,6); Charlo (4); Carlos Lafuente (7,10,17); Angel Vargas (12-14); Mario Corrales (15); Alberto Carol (19,20); Instrumental (1,5,8,9,11,13,16,18) |

Pedro Láurenz 1937/1943EU 17015The best Láurenz CD, eclipsing El Bandoneón.

Carlos Di Sarli 1940/1943EU 17016Like that of his contemporaries, Di Sarli's output in the very early 40s is high energy and fast paced. This CD is full of top quality tracks that others haven't bothered to reissue. If you like Di Sarli, why wouldn't you get this? There's no reason. A fantastic album. Track listCatamarca; Alma Mía; La trilla; Milonga del centenario milonga; Racing Club; Ausencia vals; Lo Pasado, Pasó; Viviani (1940); Marianito; Germaine; Cuando el amor muere; Don Juan (1941); La Morocha (1941); Entre Pitada y Pitada milonga; No Está; El Amanecer (1942); Decíme Que Pasó; La Cumparsita (1942); Organito De La Tarde (1942); Adiós Te Vas Cantan:Roberto Rufino (2,7,17,20); Antonio Rodríguez Lesende (4) Agustin Volpe (6); Carlos Acuña (11); Alberto Podestá (14,15); Instrumental (1,3,5,8-10,12,13,16,18,19) |

Carlos Di Sarli 1943/1948EU 17017Another fantastic Di Sarli release from Euro Records; worth it just for the amazing vals De Vuelta. Track listNueve Puntos; Yo Soy De San Telmo milonga; El Jagüel (1943); Esta Noche de Luna; Boedo y San Juan; Vamos; Milonguero Viejo (1944); Solamente Ella; Soy El Cantor De La Orquesta; A la gran muñeca (1945); Sueño de juventud vals; Cosas de tango; El Pollo Ricardo (1946); No esperaba verte más; Gracias; La Racha; Déjame; De Vuelta vals; Los 33 Orientales (1948); La Novia Del Mar; Cantan:Roberto Rufino (2,4,5); Alberto Podestá (6); Jorge Durán (8,9,11,12,14,15); Alberto Podestá (17,18); Oscar Serpa (20); Instrumental (1,3,7,10,13,16,19) |

Voces Femeninas Vol.2 1929/1961EU 17018I was shocked by how good this cd is. The best vocal interpretation ever of Fumando Espero; a rendition of Sentimiento Gaucho from Libertad Lamarque, whom I don't even like, to rival that of Nelly Omar; an exquisite vocal version of Amor y celos from Dora Davis. Track list
Fumando Espero: Rosita Quiroga / Orchestra: Orquesta Tipica Victor |

Edgardo Donato 1933/1941EU 17019Wonderful feel good fun from Donato, in many ways the precursor of D'Arienzo, but with more a lighter feel. A lot of overlap with El Bandoneón, but a better place to start if you don't already have any of the El Bandoneón discs. Track listEl acomodo; La novena; Que haces, que haces; Tierrita; La tapera vals; La tablada; Se va la vida; La milonga que faltaba milonga; Alas rotas; Ella es así milonga; Carnaval de mi barrio; Mi serenata; Sinfonia de arrabal; Campo afuera milonga; Yo te amo; Estrellita mía vals; Amando en silencio; Un libro; Quién sera vals; A media luz Cantan:F.

Angel Vargas 1947/1953EU 17020Proving that Angel D'Agostino needed Angel Vargas just a little bit more than the other way around, Vargas split from D'Agostino in 1946. His first recordings with his own orchestra are successfully arranged in D'Agostino's style. The milongas in particular are really special. Track listA Los Muchachos; Milonga Para Gardel milonga; Color De Barro; Perdon Viejita; 1910; Tanto; La Mariposa; Del Buenos Aires De Ayer milonga; Se Llamaba Eduardo Arolas; Quien Hubiera Dicho; Fondin De Pedro De Mendoza; Amigazo; Apologia Tanguera milonga; Mi Vieja Viola; Cascabelito; Lucio Paredes; Milonga Que Viene Al Tranco milonga; La Mentirosa; N.P.
