And as an orchestra leader he made far more recordings than than any one else - a truly prodigous output. And at the end of it all, over 30 years since he left, (1888 - 1984) a person like me can sit listenng to each recording for hours to improve the audio quality and si • Welcome to the enchanting world of Quinteto Pirincho, a cornerstone of Argentine tango and an exquisite representation of orquesta típica.
