Francisco Canaro - 20 Grandes Éxitos canta: Eduardo Adrián

DBN 473887

There's so much Canaro that it's hard to know what to collect

Today we bring you a wonderful CD of early 40s Canaro with Eduardo Adrián, who joined Canaro after Ernesto Famá and Francisco Amor split to form their own group. The auditions - and this is a detail that always tickles me - were sponsored by Palmolive.

Eduardo Adrián was a tenor but the quality of his intonation makes him sound like a baritone to me. It's a really fine voice and this is much nicer stuff than some of the late Canaro/Famá that we sometimes hear too much of.

The repertoire is interesting too with, for instance, one of the only danceable renditions of El tropero de amor, which is a real country tango

With three very pleasant valses, this is a fine and an unusual Canaro disc that we're confident you'll like.

Tango Collection - Carlos Di Sarli Instrumental 1928-1931

RGS 1653

Wow! A new CD of Carlos Di Sarli's sextet at a bargain price. The quality is so high, I won't even bother naming individual tracks.

These fabulous sides won't be to everyone's taste. Beats me though. I just can't get enough of this period.

For the dedicated collector, there are only a couple of new tracks compared to the the EURO records CD which we offered in April 2009

Despite the title, don't forgot that there is an estribillista (refran singer) on Maldita.

Track list

1. T B C
2. La guitarrita
3. Cuando bronca el temporal
4. Soy un arlequín
5. Un lamento
6. El paladín
7. Sos una fiera
8. Mi pibe
9. Barrilete
10. Belén
11. Che bacana
12. Algo bueno
13. Sábado
14. Criollo viejo
15. Don José María
16. Racing Club

18. Añorándote
19. Una noche de garufa

Classic Di Sarli from the early to mid 1940s with both Rufino and Podestá. Worth it just for the killer milonga Zorzal, or the classic instrumental tango Siete palabras, it's also a good introduction to the more melodic recordings with Podestá for those of you who don't know those.

1. A mi me llaman Juan Tango
2. La mulateada milonga
3. Si tu quisieras
4. Los munequitos
5. Yo soy de San Telmo
6. Navegante (Vito Dumas)
7. Todo
8. Cortando camino vals
9. Zorzal milonga
10. Rosa morena milonga
11. Siete palabras
12. Soy aquel viajero
13. Entre pitada y pitada
14. Lloran las campanas
