“My Old Love – Tango”
\nMax Dolin’s Orchestra
\n(Victor 19076-B)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0November 13, 1922<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is a recording that I stumbled across online while researching a different record.\u00a0 I thought the song was very charming – and to my pleasant surprise, I was able to find a copy in my collection.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, my copy has some condition issues that proved to be a bit time-consuming for my software to clean up.\u00a0 But that’s the way it goes with vintage records – you might or might not eventually come across another copy in better condition.\u00a0 I was happy to discover I even had a copy at all, despite its condition.<\/p>\n

“My Old Love” (“Mi viejo Amor<\/em>“) was written by the prominent Mexican composer Alfonso Esparza Oteo.\u00a0 You can read more about him at this link (in Spanish)<\/a> or in English at this link via Google Translate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Born in what is now Odesa, Ukraine, Max Dolin<\/a> was an accomplished violinist and prominent conductor in San Francisco.\u00a0 He is best remembered as the West Coast music director for the NBC radio network.<\/p>\n

Victor’s recording ledgers indicate that the conductor for this New York City recording session was their in-house conductor, Nathaniel Shilkret<\/a>, not Max Dolin.\u00a0 There is no mention of whether Dolin himself was present or whether the musicians were members of Dolin’s orchestra or in-house studio musicians.\u00a0 At the time, it was not uncommon for in-house staff to fill in for conductors or even entire bands who, for various reasons, might not have been able to attend a recording session.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
