“Pico blanco” by Juan D’Arienzo y su Orquesta Típica, 1939.

Agustín Bardi

Violinist, pianist and composer (13 August 1884 – 21 April 1941)

Bardi’s compositions were ahead of his time.

Like Eduardo Arolas’s compositions, they had to wait for the arrival of more trained interpreters, in the mid 1920s, to present all the splendor of their beauty.

According to Luis Adolfo Sierra, a recognized Tango historian, Agustín Bardi’s compositions contain “clarity in the concept of sound elaboration, balance in the melodic drawing of always pure and direct phrases, some sumptuousness in the firmness of the harmonic structure, and a refined good taste, they are in general the salient attractions that emerge in the entire work of this talented composer”.

“El Marne” by Juan D’Arienzo y su Orquesta Típica, 1939.

Eduardo Arolas

Bandoneonist, composer and leader (24 February 1892 – 29 September 1924)

As a composer, Arolas took Tango to a more elaborate level with the force of his originality.

“El Marne”, of 1919, is a true concerto of advanced structure for its time.

It needed to wait for qualified musicians to deliver the message of its notes.

Let’s listen to the rendition of the Maestro Juan D’Arienzo with Juan Polito at the piano:
