Francini-Pontier
The first years, 1946–1950
Violinist Enrique Francini and bandoneonist Armando Pontier formed their own orchestra in 1945 after playing together in Miguel Caló’s celebrated ensemble.
This release brings together 61 recordings from their first five years on RCA Victor, with Alberto Podestá, Raúl Berón, Roberto Rufino and Julio Sosa.
The restoration
It starts with the record
Every transfer begins with the search for a good original copy. We clean the record, choose the stylus and playback settings, and correct the pitch on the turntable before making the digital transfer.
Careful digital restoration and repeated listening follow, with the aim of preserving the character of the original sound. Discographic research accompanies the music, documenting the recordings and the people who made them.
