Héctor Stamponi, one of our most inspired composers and pianists, always divided his career  between accompanying important soloists and directing orchestras. He directed a remarkable instrumental group which had a very short life, although that doesn’t diminish the artistic merits it showed. Maybe, its great quality was the result of an excellent bandoneon section, a first violin that accentuated the high notes and a contrabass player that balanced the sound of the orchestra.
