Splendid relaxing CD.......2005-01-31

I am not a guitarist, so I cannot really comment knowledgeably on Gerald Garcia's achievement here, but I feel I must add my voice to those who think this is a splendid CD: Naxos have always been good for a surprise, and I was surprised indeed to find them releasing music like this in 1988! The center of the disc, in more than one sense, is Heitor Villa-Lobos, with Garcia playing all five of his Preludes and his Choro No. 1 (which, due to a printing error on the cover, is accredited to Garcia himself as arranger, but that is not correct, he only arranged the following traditional melodies in the style of Savio). Around this center are arranged pieces by Bonfá, Jobim, Savio, Pernambuco, Almeida, Baden-Powell and Machado - all names that I had never heard of until I purchased this disc out of curiosity. The music is relaxing, only the Villa-Lobos is truly classical, and the sound (the recording was made at a studio in Heidelberg, Germany) is excellent, worthy of a full-price disc. To cap it all, there are Gerald Garcia's own notes giving plenty of background information. You can't go wrong here!

Rhythm is way off........2004-02-24

Great music (but not the jobim pieces). ---Like so many classical guitarists he obviously lacks rhythm- particularly on the *Jobim* pieces. if your releasing a cd of music from brazil and you are a classical guitarist from england you should have more understanding of the music. -However it is only seven bucks and there is some definite magic on this cd.~

And the price is right, too........2003-05-24

This is an exquisitely beautiful album that captures the very essence of Brazil.

Of all the solo guitar albums in my collection, this is the most expressive and poignant.

The performance is masterful, intricate and sensitive. There is a wide mastery of inflection and style.

Gerald Garcia is one of the true masters of solo guitar at any level much less Brazilian. (This album was recorded in 1988.)

So treat yourself to the best 72'46" of listening pleasure.

Bonfa and Jobim: what a double header!.......2001-06-07

I met the two of them in the past. I saw their shows and I bought their recordings. They never disappointed me, on the contrary: I always was amazed by their style and classy quality of sound. Now they return, together, to make us enjoy life in this way and mode: pleasantness in sound. If this would not suffice, there is a bonus, the performance of Gerald Garcia. Splendiferous! GF

He's pretty good!.......2000-07-04

This is a nice C.D. Fans of the Brasilian Classical guitar style will love it. Purists will probably have a lot of trouble with it. Gerald Garcia is from Canada originally (don't quote me on that though) - it seems there are still strong academic overtones in his playing. However, it's a great collection of Brasilian pieces which spans classical composers to Bossa nova and in between. What I like about this album is the fact that most pieces presented by Garcia are his own arrangements. It's truly a unique recording (which is rare in the classical guitar world). His greatest work is on the smaller, traditional Brasilian pieces. These are really charming rustic melodies which were first harmonized by Isaias Savio and very easy to play. But, Garcia takes them to a higher level - more technically demanding without ever losing the essence of the original works. In fact, with all due respect to Mestre Savio, they are great improvements on the originals.

There is a generous number of tracks here, displaying the wealth of work by a great guitarist. More importantly, the repetoire on the album moves away from the standard Albeniz, Granados, Tarrega, Sor collections that so many classical guitarists feel compelled to release. The pieces are probably familiar to most classical guitarists who enjoy playing Brasilian music, but, for those who've never heard or played the works of Almeida, Baden-Powell, Savio or Machado it will be a pleasant surprise. And for people who just like nice music, it will be a fantastic investment.

Henry Fiol is Nuevo Rico's (Puerto Rican born in New York City)
number one salsero. This is a wonderful album. Cut after cut is fun and danceable. The arrangements are tight, the production is excellent, the songs are all good. Fiol's voice is a pleasure. Easy tempos, but the band still gets a chance to shine on cuts such as "Te me pusiste en la china."

Customer Reviews:

If you're a Belchior fan, this is the CD for you!.......2000-04-23

In these CD's Belchior rearranged many of his greatest hits in a different rhythm or with different instruments - it's kind of jazzy. IMHO, they show how mature Belchior got and give the fan the opportunity to compare his current work with his early production. One can spend hours listening to these CD's without gettin tired of them.

Album Description

A second volume in the series Music for Violin and Piano by Mexican Composers. The album title is after the 1953 piece El retrato de Lupe by Carlos Jiménez Mabarak (1916-1994). The other composers and their works are thoroughly discussed in the accompanying twenty-eight-page booklet of this classic Urtext presentation in deluxe slipcase. Luis Samuel Saloma Alcalá, violinist, conductor, and concertmaster of the National Symphony Orchestra, belongs to a family of musicians with a long tradition in Mexico. His grandfather was founder of the Saloma Quartet, the first chamber music ensemble in the country. The pianist on this album is Duane Cochran, a native of Detroit, a child prodigy who studied with György Sandor and who performs frequently in Latin America. He is also a noted choreographer, and director of the Aksenti Contemporary Dance Ensemble.

Emilio is a great singer, probably the best voice in the Brazilian realm. This is a great CD and the best song is his classic "Pelo Amor de Deus": if you are looking for a great voice singing Brazilian music, don't look anymore, this is it.
