El Caballero Cantor reminds Carlos Gardel on the second anniversary of his death

"never be the same metal in his voice," said Ignacio Corsini. Report Radiolandia granted in June 1937

The trial of Ignacio Corsini about Gardel, of singular importance. The two together, for many years. The two together, for many years, had legions of fans themselves. Both enjoyed a few years of the popular favor.

Identified by a common art, however marched by different routes to reach the same goal: the public's heart, who knew of his songs as intimate and deepest feelings externalized.

sang in a different way, with equal fervor. And, possibly by the greatness of the two singers were friends in the wide and generous sense of friendship.

- "We knew the name," Corsini says, "but never had occasion shake hands personally. Until, in turn two, we arrive at the same point: that City Santa Fe, Gardel was presented by acting in a Motion Picture, while I was leading man in the company who directed Joseph Podesta. "

" Razzano introduced us and the embrace with which we began our friendship, which was great after, I was won for poor Charlie. We had dinner together at the hotel where I was staying and wanted to separate myself before hearing one of their successes then. A style, "Bitterness", comprising himself, who sang as seldom heard later. His voice was subdued ringing ever since with the force of an overwhelming emotion. Could take many years, but I have always in my ear, like a caress and a gift, his low voice that Argentina, metal, wonderful as it has not had any singer in the country. As hardly be achieved in other artist to emerge in the future. "

Why was admirable Carlitos Gardel

-" I have believed to know the reason for its success clamorous. But I know why trunfó in Buenos Aires, as he was an idol in Paris, in Spain or in United States. Metal had a voice unsurpassed. When I heard it was felt that his strong and gentle spirit came to the public. And aunaba this gift with which nature endowed him, his great soul artist.

why the most insignificant of his songs came strongly to the collective emotion. Contagious passion for the tango, all about us. And triumphed because it was exceptional man and artist. by command of his voice, by virtue of his art, by the kindness of his heart ever heard of petty feelings. "

paraded memories with memories and anecdotes threading wants to give us Corsini semblance of Gardel.

- "In 1927-he tells us, we act together in the Comedy Theatre. He sang some songs like finale, while I, acting in the cast with "Facha toast" (1), of Novión, should read "Caminito", which was premiered recently. When he sang, the best applause always went his own hands. And to hide behind the scenes, completed the work, joyously hugged me, happy for my success.

I wish you and the public does not misinterpret the meaning of my words. But I swear I never felt so fully the value of popular praise and when the applause was also made where the greatest singing of the singers from Argentina. "

A gesture of Gardel

- "Then began the biggest stages of his unparalleled dedication . We had to separate, cordial friends, a friendship as I have not enjoyed again in this environment where the two act. And we met in 1931. Carlitos was returning from Europe, just at a time when I was feeling down, ill. In Corrientes and Esmeralda, as if he wanted to give the city its more po corner Rten for the meeting, we met again. You can imagine the joy of the two. He wanted us to take the snack bar together, and after a while noticed my uneasiness. "

" I confessed my spiritual state in two words - not what happens to me. Sing two or three songs well, and the fourth and notice my voice obscured. As if he was sick. As if he could no longer continue. "

" I took it home, "continues the creator of the little store in Santa Lucia, and was, in it, all the great heart that was Charlie. Among his suitcases, looking eagerly, pulled an inhaler first and then a bottle:

- "With this I am cured when I'm not well. Take it back. It's yours, and you will see in about a week you're another man. "

"To me, that if was his rival wants to, I would have meant for those who did not have his soul, an enemy, I was the only remedy was to heal. A gesture that only he could have. I'm sure that evening Charlie had to sleep happy. Must have felt the tremendous joy he experienced when he could remedy a sadness, ease a pain "

That gesture, add us, Ignacio Corsini, the man who one day in Montevideo, back from a bitter day at the track when his friends feared for his immediate action, made him exclaim sincere, friendly,

"What I will not to sing? sing better than ever, because there in the box, is my friend Corsini, the only shadow that makes me in Buenos Aires. "

And the best song of the evening was dedicated to Corsini, who was at large and pure feel Carlitos Gardel's best friend. Perhaps because they need emotion ever achieved in a generous and romantic sad song "All he did shadow ...

The first meeting between Gardel and Corsini. Blog Clarification

believe essential to make a clarification regarding the first meeting between Knight and Cantor Creole Thrush. While reporting to the chronicler Ignacio Corsini in 1937, locates the site of that first meeting in the Province of Santa Fe, in fact there is no way to confirm if the information of Radiolandia in 1937 is completely accurate.

We can not say for sure if the writer published exactly the information that reference Corsini in the interview, or if you mistook the notes he took in his book, and transcribing the interview data inadvertently modified. Remember that in those days, reporters took notes as his interviewees answered their questions, "obviously there were no handheld recorders, much less the MP3-and then transcribe and return to" arm "in drafting the report of the publisher.

In fact the truth, there is a much more forceful about it. Indeed, on page 19 of the biography of Cantor Caballero, Dr. Ignacio Corsini (h), recounts that meeting, indicating in turn that the volume of the "Memoirs" manuscript written by Sir Cantor:

"... Far away again from the Podesta, Corsini was launched in 1913 to tour villages in Entre Ríos and Buenos Aires Province. acted in Bahia Blanca, in the circus equestrian Michael Cassano, and there meets with Carlos Gardel, who also developed an artistic tour. (Reference handwritten in the "Memoirs" of my father). In this southern city, both are sung: Morocho, "El Moro" and the blonde sings "The classic." It may be noted that this time he began a "minstrel song" unique between two large, and a friendship that only death of Charles was to chop ... "

Corsini himself recalled that meeting in a newspaper interview granted in 1954, indicating thereon the following:
"... A Carlitos I met him in 1913, back in Bahia Blanca, and since then our friendship never waned. Instead each of us was always ready to come to the aid of that needed something. We always try to Gardel put our song above all the interests and indeed I can assure you fight enough to do it. "

In short, we must surely consider the latter as the correct version, since it comes from first-hand the manuscript containing the "Memoirs" in the handwriting of Mr. Ignacio Corsini, played by his son when he wrote "Ignacio Corsini, My Father" (Ed. Todo es Historia - 1979, p.19)
