Lina Pesce - Concerto em Ritmo (1963)

Let's make a very different Para Dancar release today, pretty sophisticated by the way, featuring a Brazilian pianist and composer never introduced to Loronixers. I'm talking about Lina Pesce, perhaps the beautiful woman on this great cover artwork, but I'm not sure of it. Lina Pesce and Carolina Cardoso de Menezes are very similar artists, with Carolina being more identified as an instrumentalist while Lina Pesce as composer. Let's see.

This is Lina Pesce - Concerto em Ritmo (1963), for Columbia, featuring orchestra with direction by Maestro Lyrio Panicalli. The second album recorded by Lina Pesce for Columbia, being the first dedicated to Lina Pesce compositions and Concerto em Ritmo, Lina Pesce renditions to classic music in Para Dancar style, both albums with orchestra directed by Lyrio Panicalli. I'm tracking down the first, it will be nice to hear Lina Pesce piano and Lyrio Panicalli orquestra playing Lina Pesce repertoire. Tracks include:

01 - Balada Nº 2 (Franz Liszt)
02 - Panorama (De "A Bela Adormecida") (Tchaikovsky)
03 - Tema (De "Rapsódia Sobre Um Tema de Paganini") (Rachmaninoff)
04 - Tema do Concerto Em Mi Menor Op 11 (Frederic Chopin)
05 - Valsa (De "O Lago dos Cisnes") (Tchaikovsky)
06 - Tema de "Giselle" (Adam)
07 - Estudo Nº 12 Em Dó Menor Op 10 Nº 12 (Revolucionário) (Frederic Chopin)
08 - Valsa Nº 2 Em Lá Bemol Maior Op 34 Nº 1 (Frederic Chopin)
09 - Adágio (De "A Bela Adormecida") (Tchaikovsky)
10 - Tema de "Don Quixote" (Minkus)
11 - Estudo Em Mi Maior Op 10 Nº 3 (Frederic Chopin)
