BrazilOnGuitar says: We think that 27 Horas de Estudio was recorded at the end of 1968 because BP played a very similar arrangement of Iemanja on Le Monde Musical 2. We don't know of any other record with this arrangement.
Lotus, swinging in the style of Django and Jacques Loussier, opens this ambitious record. It is one of the most beautiful compositions on 27 Horas and sounds like a homage to these musicians, but is in fact dedicated to his fast car, a Lotus. The string arrangement of All the things you are has not the lightness of the 1967 version and rather resembles the version from 1959. Three solo pieces form the center of this record, the Spanish Violao, the Moorish O cego aderaldo and the Brazilian A lenda do Abaete, showing that the thirty years old Baden belonged to the master guitarists of that time.
With compositions like Um abraco no Codo or Alo, Ernesto he would deal with on later recordings. In 1974 Alo, Ernesto would become Valsa No.1 and be played in studio and on stage. The reflective Viagem and the Double by Bach close the record.
27 Horas de Estudio was for a long time only available as an LP and (without the WWW) very hard to find outside of Brazil. The long awaited CD-reissue (2003) was carefully remastered and shows the original Elenco cover.

Grande disco esse do Baden! Genial!
Vou ouvi-lo novamente e estarei postando alguns comentários daqui a pouco por aqui.
Enquanto isso, baixem também e apareçam por aqui para falarmos sobre esse trabalho.
Come on people from England, Sweden, Denmark, France and all over the world. Listen to it and write something about Baden 27 horas de estudio, here. - No, it´s not a link.
Come on!
Thank you Loro!
Abraços
Felipe,
I heard from my friend that Baden Powell is very popular in Germany.
That's why Germany is on the third place, followed by Japan, France and UK.
There is a wonderful site made by some folks in Germany about Baden Powell. Wonderful indeed. I will have to move to my notebook - I'm writing this from zecaloura's thinkpad - to gather the URL for us.
cheers!
Maravilha este disco do baden. O destaque é para o tratamento do violão em relação aos outros instrumentos. É quase violão solo.
Enfim, aquele estilo característico de tocar - em cego aderaldo, domina muito bem a viola caipira, se isto for viola caipira mesmo - e constroi linhas melódicas complexas pontuadas de beleza e qualidade técnica. Se baden lesse esses absurdos que eu escrevo aqui, com certeza, não aceitaria o meu perdão.
Enfim, mais um do baden...Muito bom. Tem um também que é o love me with guitars que além de ter uma capa cool, arrasa no samba corrido. Uma singela sugestão.
Recomended for all the brazilian music lovers around the world. Listen Baden 27 horas and show how you feel, here. - No, it´s not a link!
Abração Lôro. Obrigado por mais esse!
Many thanks for the very kind words about BrazilOnGuitar.
Heartily greets from Germany to Zeca.
I have a bunch of Baden P. But this was a shock to me in his diversity. He goes from top quality classical to the highest quality Jazz, than of course back to his thing.
Also most songs are recorded well for 1969. Actually most of PB studio stuff is recorded very well. See "Solitude on Guitar" for a very good 1971 recording.
Many many thanks from Germany e um grande abraço! A.
