Antonio Carlos Jobim is remembered as one Brazil's greatest composers. He spearheaded the creation of bossa nova nearly a half century ago; he was also a musician whose talents extended far beyond that of a composer. His training was in classical music and he'd been involved with large-scale orchestral collaborations for his work over the years. This posthumous effort, recorded live in 2002, highlights many of those large-scale works, offering lush arrangements by the maestro himself, Claus Ogerman, and Nelson Riddle, as well as new charts by son Paulo Jobim and Mario Adnet. In addition to classical arrangements of such classics as "A Felicidade" and "Garota de Ipanema" ("The Girl from Impanema"), previously unreleased pieces "Preludio" and "Lenda" make their debut on this double-disc collection. This large canvas of sound deftly illustrates the beauty of Jobim's melodies, but the composer's majestic sense of harmony is really highlighted, thus offering up the biggest revelation of the project. This is the best re-imagination of the composer's work since Morelenbaum/Sakamoto's Casa. --Tad Hendrickson

In Concert With The Sun, Moon, Stars And A Heavenly Choir, Everytime Someone Enjoys Symphonic Jobim, An Angel Gets His Wings!.......2007-06-21

Jobim loves people, and gets excited about all kinds of things, I'm sure there's certain pieces by Debussy and Ravel that made Jobim red in the face because they are so beautiful.

How does an Artist manage to be influenced and still a make a work of art their own?

Love and desire.

Symphonic Jobim strikes me as being very Nationalistic, a sort of spiritual road map to the heart of the World, and what better way to celebrate one's roots by drawing on the panorama of Rio and Brazil, or, Brasil.

Frank Loyd Wright once said, Architecture is frozen Music.

Jobim went on record, Music is frozen Architecture!

Thanks, Tom!

Historians say the height of Civilisation is the drawing in and taking out of water, music is like water, it comes in waves, when I listen to Symphonic Jobim all the public works are in place and working smoothly.

I was raised on Debussy and Ravel, but they're a little before my time, Symphonic Jobim puts life's panorama in perspective for me.

I don't have to be near a pretty picture window to drink in the scenery when I listen to Symphonic Jobim, the beautiful motifs conjure all kinds of pictures and feelings.

Every recording becomes a by product of the time period it was made, but Symphonic Jobim has a certain timelessness attached to it... it is a perfect piece of music beginning to end!

Symphonic Jobim, a Project by Paulo Jobim and Mario Adnet, does much credit to it's Composer. Good Job!

Awesome fitting tribute to Brazil's melody maestro.......2005-11-07

This fabulous concert comprises Brazilian melodies, both traditional and those composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim, with the ample talents of Paulo Jobim, Mario Adnet, and many top Brazilian arrangers and musicians. I was lucky enough to witness a live rehearsal of this concert last spring in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Very impressive! Lush melodies, orchestral arrangements of depth and complexity, the vocal majesty of Milton Nascimento and many others; all of the above add up to a very satisfying musical experience to anyone who loves the rich tasty delight that is Brazilian music.

Beautiful Music.......2006-07-29

I timidly purchased this album after listening to bits and pieces of Chico's work, I and must say I was pleasantly surprised. What a record!
Each of these tracks contains a distinct sound and ambiance which sets it apart, from the slow and soulful "Pontevedra" to the upstart and youthful "Se depender de mim" I wasn't much of a brazilian music aficionado, but this album has introduced me to a ferociously new frontier in music. Chico's unorthodox style weaves its melody gracefully and effortlessly, captivating the listener.
Bottom line: This is brazilian music at its best!

A Major International Artist.......2006-02-01

This CD has been the sound track of my life ever since I received it. This is one of a very few albums that I can listen to repeatedly, beginning to end. Chico is a monster acoustic and electric guitarist/ composer/ singer/ arranger. I love his voice, but he sings on only four of the fourteen cuts, choosing to feature other singers . The compositions are all his, 10 vocals and 4 instrumentals in a remarkable variety of styles representing the breadth of Brasilian music. It sounds brand new, but always respects the musical traditions of Brasil, jazz, and classical music.

"Tempestade" relates a traditional Bahian fisherman's lament, sung in 5/4. Luciana Alves sings the blazing samba "Se depender de mim". Pianist Fábio Torres states the melody on the up-tempo "Tema em 3". "Desfile de afoxe" is jubilant candomblé anthem featuring vocalist Tatiana Parra.

Chico lists among his influences Miles, Coltrane, Wes, Chopin, João Gilberto, Pat Matheny, Jobim, the Beatles and the old guard Brasilians, Cartola and Nelson do Cavaquinho. He honors them all with this wonderful work.
