Saúl Cosentino made his first recording of avantgarde tangos composed and arranged by him in 1983. Other recordings followed, and in 1990 he won first prize in the Carlos Gardel Competition. Other recordings, publications and awards have followed, and a series of compositions that has included a guitar concerto and a prize-winning suite for harp and strings.
