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.

Essential........2006-11-14

There's any number of Brazilian compilations out there, and most of them are good - but this double set is very, very good!
In fact, as the title says, it's essential. The 31 tracks cover a wide sweep of Brazilian music and take in gentle guitar/vocal bossa novas, percussive sambas, brassy celebrations of life, lazy-sounding folk ballads and much more.
The compilers have clearly put the package together with knowledge and love. They've selected accalaimed artists, celebrated songwriters and a mix of well-known and more esoteric songs as their starting point. Naturally Antonio Carlos Jobim is well represented with three tracks of which "Aguas De Marco" (from his seminal "Jobim" album) is typical of his relaxed style. Other well-known names featured include Tania Maria, Astrud Gilberto, Joyce, Jorge Ben, and the Tamba Trio. Tania Maria's offering is her wonderful original version of "Come With Me", which is a lot less urgent than the more famous jazz covers, but because of that it actually implies a latent urgency which which is the more powerful - if you know what I mean.
Astrud Gilberto's inclusion is her Stan Getz-paired version of "It Might As Well Be Spring", while the Tamba Trio's "Mas Que Nada" will forever be associated with those famous yellow and green shirts.
The lesser known material includes some lovely sporific bossa nova vocals like Maria Bethania's "Ambar" and the mightily percussive Timbalada Dance's "Beija-Flor" - and who cares if the vocals are in Portugese - the message is in the music.
The more contemporary side of Brazilian music is represented here by a couple of cuts that wouldn't sound out of place on a modern dance compilation.
Marcos Valle's "Freio Aerodynamic" flies along on the aerodynamics implicit in the title, while Jorge Ben's "Pais Tropical", though a little more subdued, is nevertheless irresistibly rhythmic.
In effect that's the secret of all Brazilian music. Despite its rich variety, it's all down to feeling the rhythm.

Very Good Sampler.......2003-10-31

I admittedly did a review on this one several years ago but have found myself returning to the album, and wanted to upgrade the review. This is a double disc set of tunes dedicated to a variety of different BRazilian musical styles and musicians. No stone is left un-turned in this one as you've got everything from axe to bossa to bossa nova to MPB and Pagode on down the line.

CD1 is well stocked with quality. Tania Maria's popular cross-cultural hit "Come With Me" features, and you've got a delightful little Astrud Gilberto (with Stan Getz) song "It Might as Well be Spring". But I think the real gem on that album is "Cena" by an artist you won't hear much about outisde of Brasil (or even in Brasil nowadays). A terrific song... that sort of moves like a soap-opera... "You get jealous and make a scene..." You really do have to know Portuguese to get really get the song. There are several others that I enjoyed on that one too. Disc two's just as nice with stallwarts Elis Regina and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Two real highlights to me though were As Meninas track "Para Raio", remake of an old classic. It's so light and breezy - I like Monica's voice and this album got me into their music. As Meninas changed their group name to "Nois 4", and be careful as they are VERY different from the probably more popular Axe/pop group "As Meninas". I also liked Quarteto Em Cye's "Milagre". I mean the harmonizing is so perfect!

I recommend this one if you can still find it. It was a delightful two disc set that I thoroughly enjoyed. It is a bit older though... pushing on 8 years or so. But it's still got some great tracks and artists. Jorge Ben, Lenine, Timbalada, Joyce, Djavan, Daniela Mercury, Maria Bethania, Chico Buarque, Novos Baianos and loads more appear. Pretty wide spectrum of music, so check it out! This album reminds me of a few other samples before and after it, like "A Night in Rio", or the "Beleza Tropical" series and countless others out there. Maybe I'll do a guide for them if it's wanted.

it could had been better.......2003-10-16

some of the songs are great and very popular but other sare not, some of the songs are just okay the sound its poor and thats why i gave it only 3 stars.

The best of Brazilian music!.......2001-07-16

A gorgeous 2CD collection of some of the most popular Brazilian songs, by the most renowned artists, including the classic 'Girl from Ipanema' sung by composer Vinicius de Moraes. The album also spans a variety of sounds- axe, bossa nova, brazilian reggae, samba and pop and jazz fusion as well. Perfect buy for those who want an introduction to Brazilian music.
