This is a bootleg recording of Hermeto Pascoal with the Orquestra Sinfonica Jovem de Sao Paulo. No, I'm not going nuts, Hermeto used to urge the audiences to record his live performances and spread the tapes, in an attempt to overcome the indifference of recording companies to his music, that's what we have here.Hermeto experiences with classical music on this tape, recorded with an orchestra at Teatro Municipal de Sao Paulo. The exact date of this recording is uncertain, probably it is from the late 80's. Anyway, this is Hermeto Pascoal on classics and you should not miss.
Post post information: please read this post comments with accurate information provided by Jovino Santos Neto, which is the Musical Director of this concert. Thanks for the info Maestro.

Incredible! Thank You...these special posts of Heremto are not going unappreciated :)
oops, I mean "Hermeto" hehe
I have this one -- it's great you're posting it.
As far as a date, I found this on the Web:
In 1990 he presented his Sinfonia em Quadrinhos (Cartoon Symphony) with the Youth Symphony of São Paulo.
Lasse,
Thanks for identifying the missing 06. Great.
Writerguy,
You are right, I found some others references on-line with this year. Some websites also says that this was not the first and only Hermeto move towards classical music. I hope to get more info about this.
Thanks friends.

Hey, Zecalouro,
Thanks for posting this recording of Hermeto's orchestral music. However, as the musical director of the concert, I must correct the information about the music. First of all, this concert was performed on April 1, 1993 at the PUC University in Campinas, São Paulo. It was a celebration for the graduating class of the PUC. The orchestra is the Orquestra Sinfônica Municipal de Campinas, conducted by Benito Juarez. It features Hermeto on melodica, bass flute and piano and myself on piano and musical direction.
The correct titles for the tracks you posted are:
1 - Acordando com os Acordes
2 - Túnel
3 - Mundo Verde Esperança
4 - Caminhos Lindos (flute quartet)
5 - Vento, Vento, Vento Vai
6 - As Marianas
7 - Bebê
By the way, there were many more pieces performed that evening.
Hermeto did play a concert with the Orquestra Sinfônica Jovem de SP in May 1986 where they performed "Sinfonia em Quadrinhos", but this is not the concert you posted on your blog.
Feel free to ask me about any more information on Hermeto's music.
Obrigado and greetings from Seattle,
