Lost Barrios Recordings
Here is a link to an interview with David Russell, by Tony Morris of guitaralive, in which Russell relates the reason there have been some Barrios works still not discovered;
David Russell on Agustin Barrios.
Recently, there has been an exciting discovery, the tango Bicho Feo (Ugly Beast) has been found. This humorous tango Barrios often played at the end of his concerts, to bring the house down! The piece was recorded by Barrios in Argentina, and the recording by the composer himself has been discovered, and now Chanterelle have updated their “complete” Barrios recordings to include this piece on the CD set.
Other works missing by Barrios (as far as I know) that are of particular interest to me are; Recuerdos Del Pacifico, Gloria e Amor, Rapsodia Latinamericano…It’s quite possible that some of the works listed as “lost” or not in manuscript, are in fact what we know as another title. Example, “Saudades dol Rio De Janeiro”, possibly Choro Da Saudade?
I wait to hear this new work with interest
