Notes: Ángel D'Agostino
Era
D’Agostino maintains a slightly bandoneón-heavy lineup of 4-6 bandos v.s. 3-4 violins.
1940-43. Alfredo Attadía, Ismael Spitalnik bandoneóns/arrangers, Mario Perini violin, D’Agostino piano.
Vargas left D’Agostino in June 1943 to start his own OT with Attadía, however, he returned alone to D’Agostino only a few months later.
1943-47. Eduardo Del Piano first bandoneón/arranger, Mario Perini violin, D’Agostino piano.
2b: Máximo Mori replaced Del Piano as the first bandoneón.
1951-52. Toto Rodríguez bando, Víctor Braña violin/arranger, D’Agostino piano.
1953-59. Máximo Mori returns as the first bandoneón and arranger, violin Carlos Arnaiz, D'Agostino piano.
4b: Carlos Arnaiz left for Di Sarli; Víctor Braña joined De Angelis.

Date/Genre
El Cuarteador (1942) from the film “Tangos de ayer y de hoy” is not listed.
Svelt cuarteto recordings (1962) not listed.
Singer/Masters
As a casi “singer orquesta”, all Vargas’ successors shared his traits, and the repertoire was strictly tailored to and influenced by the style of Vargas, a typical “Porteño” urban touch.
D’Agostino did not leave any stereo recordings although 1963 Víctor was in a tech transition.
Pitch/Speed
The 1940/41 recordings are slightly faster.
