Does anyone know an online discography of Quinteto Real's recordings.

I'm specifically looking for dates for the tracks on the Columbia/Sony 'de coleccion' album:

La Cumparsita
Canaro En Paris
A Media Luz
Buenos Aires
El Choclo
Organito De La Tarde
La Puñalada (Milonga)
Adios Muchachos
Caminito
Palomita Blanca (Vals)
A Fuego Lento
Julian
Pobre Gallo Bataraz (Vals)
Adios Pampa Mia
Taquito Militar (Milonga)
El Abrojito
Gran Hotel Victoria
Ya No Cantas Chingolo
Ojos Negros
Romance De Barrio (Vals)

There is a wonderful amount of tango music available very inexpensively, but very rarely are there decent notes, and this disc is giving nothing away! Anyone?
 
Couldn't find a discography either, but they're still active and performing, so you could just email them and ask. Their address is info theATsymbol quintetoreal theDOTsymbol com

Watch out in this discussion for the difference between the original Quinteto Real and the Nuevo Quinteto Real...
The recording UKDancer is refuring to is one of the old Quinteto Real.

P.W.

Yes. I'm guessing that the recordings date back to the mid-60s, but it would be nice to find a source that confirms. I'm half-hoping that someone has the material from an earlier release, and perhaps their (LP) sleeve notes or otherwise gives a date.

As from 1960 Laurenz formed part of the famous "Quinteto Real" a group of great soloists, such as Horacio Salgán (piano), Enrique Mario Francini (violin), Ubaldo De Lío (guitar) and Rafael Ferro (double bass). They recorded for Phillips and Columbia, in an attempt to make tango re-flourish with a bold renewal in rhythm. The Quinteto Real still exists but the only who remain from its original stars are Salgán and De Lío.

I use to have a CD of them, but I can't locate it now. As I recall we quit dancing to it as soon as we got some older music. They were very focused on rhythm and not so much on melody. It was difficult to dance to, for me.
