“Alma de bohemio” by Pedro Laurenz y su Orquesta Típica with Alberto Podestá in vocals, 1943.
Roberto Firpo
Firpo was, at his time, one of the most recognized and celebrated composers of Tango. Therefore, the recording company Lepage Odeón of Max Glücksmann summoned him to make their first recordings.
At the time, recording the piano with other instruments presented challenges because the overwhelming sound of the piano would drown out the other instruments.
Firpo resolved the problem by placing the instruments in an order still kept at the orquestas típicas.
In 1914 came his greatest success: “Alma de bohemio”, which he composed for a play of the same name, at the request of the brilliant actor Florencio Parravicini.
