Radio and television say goodbye to Fernando Argenta

He directed Radio 3 and Radio 1 of RNE, where he began his career in 1971. He also directed and presented programs such as 'Clásicos Populares', on RNE, and 'El conciertazo', on TVE.

Fernando ArgentaThe musician and communicator Fernando Argenta, a great popularizer who introduced classical music into Spanish homes through RNE and TVE, died this Tuesday at the age of 68 as a result of cancer.

Son of the orchestra director Ataulfo ​​Argenta, who died in 1958, and the pianist Juanita Pallarés, he directed and presented programs such as Popular Classics, in RNE, and The concert, on TVE. He was also director of Radio 3 and Radio 1 of RNE, where he began his career in 1971.

Argenta learned to love music at home, from admiration for a father who aroused applause and made the audience stand up. The death of his father, when he was only 12 years old, made him dedicate himself to music and its dissemination, a task to which he dedicated his entire life.

In 1976 he created the program Popular Classics, which served 32 uninterrupted years on the air until 2008. From 2000 and until his early retirement in 2008, he directed and presented the sister program on TVE The Great Concert, focused on bringing classical music to younger people.

With a degree in Law from the Complutense University of Madrid and with advanced studies in Piano Music and Harmony, carried out at the Royal Conservatory of Madrid, Argenta had been performing an average of about 80 concerts per year.
