Ignacio Corsini is removed from the artistic activity in 1949

passes the final retirement years with his family and surrounded by the memories of fans who greet him on the street recognize

In the interesting biography that will leave us posted on Dr. Ignacio Corsini (h), tells how it took the last years of the life of singer Knight.

Never again sing professionally since his last farewell performance before the microphones of Radio Belgrano, on May 28, 1949.

At that time he said goodbye forever to his audience, singing "The cowherd", "I come to tell my troubles," I am a pilgrim gaucho, "" The little store in Santa Lucia "and" By the way " .

This year will mark exactly 60 years after that latter end recital radio. We wonder if they ever appear any acetate that last season that allows us to rescue those exciting moments. The

exception was made in 1959, when she appeared on the television program "Back to live", which was then led the multifaceted "Blackie" and Carlos D'Agostino. We recall that at that time almost all television programs were performed live, so that hardly any copies have survived. Not rule out that a fan in a particular way could be recorded on a tape recorder open the application, but so far not detected any copies.

However, survived a lot of photographs that document that presentation and show a Ignacio Corsini haired, elegant, yet sleek and elegant in his appearance. For the time was 68 years old.

happened On that occasion a historic event for all fans of the gentleman singer Blackie to the accompaniment of the piano, sung for the last time in public, although not professionally, "the first stanzas of" The little store in Santa Lucia. " His son recalls that touching moment by pointing out that the interpretation aroused a standing ovation in the study, although "certainly a great veil of nostalgia and sadness" Corsini engulfed at that time ".
was
an exciting program where participants also old friends who were reunited with the singer. His grandson, Dr. Eduardo Corsini, told us at some time that this time he accompanied his grandfather as a boy-a study of the former Channel 7, where the transfer took place and witnessed that event, playing behind the decorations were stationed there.

His son remembers those years of retirement saying artistic Corsini forgotten and began to believe that his life had come in isolation and in memory of the past: "seemed unable to let go of his dead partner and other friends and happenings times " .

recall that his wife, actress Victoria Pacheco, died in 1948, and that was one reason that more weighed to determine their distance from the edge. On one occasion, during his long retirement, he remembered his wife with these words: "I note that much of my success I owe to my unforgettable wife, lifelong companion, she encouraged me in uncertain times, and keep it more deeply the love of a lifetime ... "

While it is a fact that Ignacio Corsini left the artistic activity in strict form, do not give way to potential returns, however, many testimonials of people who treated him in those years tell us that it was not unusual, that at the request of a friend or fan, singing a short verse a cappella. Many times until even he did by telephone.



Other references show us Corsini getting in the door of his home fans salute that, even over the years, concurred to say hello and ask them to bestow on any autographed photo, or you can download some of his records. The stories say that Corsini was always generous in this regard. Corsini

He wrote these autobiographical references in his last years in 1964: "I live for my memories. This is only my point location to look back without sadness, but with a sweet and deep nostalgia ".

On the left you can see a commentary published in 1954 where he discussed the reissue of albums that even then they were exhausted. It is noteworthy that even his last recordings were found also out of print. The commentary was published in the journal "La Cumparsita" on June 3, 1954.

collector Angel Olivieri recalled that on one occasion while visiting at the home of collector Sanfino Pascual, were listening to tango "to stop the dance" performed by Ignacio Corsini, on a computer had a very good gain and excellent speakers for the time. Corsini, who was a neighbor of Sanfino, and was at the door of his house, heard the recording from the street and approached the residence of the collector. Great was the surprise of two friends when they met with Ignacio Corsini, who was very interested to hear that recording. They began to talk and Corsini Olivieri tells he admired very much his interpretation of the tango "Chiqué"

- "It nearly killed me. He would not talk about some issues "

As is known Corsini was not very fond of the issues related to the slang. Olivieri recalled that then heard in silence "The Goodbye" and then express Corsini "with a tinge of sadness that was reflected in his face" :

- "That golden age ...! gave me many satisfactions that issue ... "

Other anecdotes remind many opportunities to visit specialist collectors in their discography, who had given his friend, asking to make him listen to some of his creations, and often times even surprised to rediscover who he believed had recorded works have not played before. Is that the catalog of recordings Ignacio Corsini is almost as vast as that of Carlos Gardel and embracing the thirty-four years of work, not counting the significant repertoire of the last decade of work that was never recorded on disk, and even contained a considerable amount of extra pieces composed by Blomberg and Maciel.

Once, we referred a friend recalled that during the years of artistic retreat, Corsini one time was interested in hearing a recording his own in particular, and had learned that a collector had in his possession a copy of the disc in question . One morning, he presented to the house of the collector, who did not know, and hit the door. The wife answers the door and stays in one piece Knight saw the singer asking for her husband. The collector could not believe his eyes to see a cordial Ignacio Corsini, who was a fervent admirer, who came to his private collection to "listen to interpret a work."

The photograph illustrating this short commentary, may be the last taken Ignacio Corsini posing in a photo studio, and shows Don Ignacio at 73 years of age. There may be other subsequent photographs taken in the privacy of his family. Sources
