Radames Gnattali - Radames Gnattali e a Musica Popular (1990)

Here we go on another album where classical music touches popular music. This kind of albums, such like yesterday's Maria Lucia Godoy, Turibio Santos and others, started on Loronix less than a few months ago. For my initial surprise, they are very popular and downloaded much more than my best estimates. Additionally, our community requests a lot works from Maestro Radames Gnattali and that's what we have here, a tribute album to Radames Gnattali never released commercially. Let's see.

This is Radames Gnattali e a Musica Popular (1990), produced by Kuarup for the oil & gas company Atlantic, a tribute to Radames Gnattali featuring Orquestra de Cordas Brasileira, Joao Carlos Assis Brasil, Chiquinho do Acordeon and Beto Cazes, released two years before Radames Gnattali passing. The repertoire brings Radames Gnattali compositions, with track 05 - Sarau pra Radames (Paulinho da Viola) as the exception. Side A features individual performances (as indicated on track list) and side B has a Radames Gnattali accordion concert, performed by Chiquinho do Acordeon, Beto Cazes and Orquestra de Cordas Brasileiras. Tracks include:
