5 out of 5 stars How much can you do with four hands???.......2003-06-06

How much can you do with four hands??? Can they make beautiful music with 10, 14, or 16 strings? For a pianist, you may not think it is big deal to play with 16 strings at a time when you can do 60 strings or more with 4 hands.

Excluding the piano, this is one of the best Pan-Brazillian instrumental albums you can get with 10-16 strings, depending on what the guitar family instruments Marco Pereira and Hamilton de Holanda used on a particular song/piece.

"Luz Das Cordas" consists fine samples of Brazilian string music styles. From early 20th century choro masters Pixinguinha, Luiz Gonzaga, etc. to modern compositions by the performers themselves, this album mix well guitar, mandolin, cavaco, and percussions as they did to the music varieties stylishly.

Even though Marco Pereira and Hamilton De Holanda are qualified to show their dazzling techniques, the music is light-hearted, energetic, and sensible. It is easy to listen to. Some Jazz like improvisational segments were seamlessly integrated into Brazilian rooted arrangements to make spontaneous and pleasant atmosphere.

A few tracks stand out are "1X0" by Pixinguinha, "Luz Das Cordas" and "Bate-coxa" by Marco Pereira, and "Las Abejas" by Agustin Barrios Mangore. Even a classic piece like "1X0" which has been recorded numberous times, Pereira and De Holanda is still able to shed new light in their interpretation. "Las Abejas" usually appears on classic guitar menu and has been recorded by maestros such as John Williams. The Pereira-De Holanda version is nothing short of virtuosity, humor, and freshness.

The recording studio did a fairly good job on the sound quality. Not an audiophile recording, the bass has reasonable extension and mid-range is lively when the higher frequencies are just a bit too thin, noticeable especially on Mandolin solos. The phamflet looks like one from a 5-dollar pirated CD. It was poorly designed and printed. Regardless of the `look', the music is absolutely fantastic.

If you like Brazilian instrument music in a simple and subtle way, (no over production, over intrumentation and over technically showiness), this is your CD. Those two master guitarist/mandolinist will surely bring you on a pleasant journey like a sunny breezy spring afternoon.
