Radames Gnattali e Rafael Rabello - Tributo a Garoto (1982)

Hello, good evening! This is the repost of an essential album released in February 2007 featuring two great musicians, Radames Gnattali and Rafael Rabello making a tribute to one of the greatest Brazilian guitar player ever, Anibal Augusto Sardinha, also known as Garoto, a very important artist that in his short life could influence several generations of Brazilian musicians. JOAO-SP provided this record in excellent conditions making possible to make the vinyl transfer with no noise reduction process. Let's see.

This is Radames Gnattali & Rafael Rabello - Tributo a Garoto (1982), for Funarte, a Brazilian government institute. It is fantastic to hear a very young Rafael Rabello recording an album with the experienced and renowned Radames Gnattali on such unusual formation, piano and violao. The repertoire features on Side A five Garoto compositions while Side B brings a reduced version of Radames Gnattali Concertino para Violao e Orquestra, presented here as Concertino para Violao e Piano. This is a fantastic album and I'm very grateful to JOAO-SP for making this repost viable on perfect conditions, including several scans with lots of information about Garoto and the recording session. Tracks include:
Personnel

Radames Gnattali
(piano)
Rafael Rabello
(violao 7 cordas)

Track List

01 - Desvairada (Garoto)
02 - Gente Humilde (Garoto)

    I listened to the preview of this album (nice feature, by the way) and I decided to download it after 11 seconds.
    Really exceptional, as many other albums in this blog.
    keep turning!
    T.O.

    É uma dádiva que Rafael Rabello e o Mestre Radamés nos tivessem legado um tal disco com alguns clássicos do Garoto. Excelente post, Zeca, valeu!

    Mas, como Deus não dá asa à cobra, a gravação comporta graves problemas técnicos (o piano "cobre" o violão o tempo todo e distorce nos agudos terrívelmente) o que, infelizmente, diminue o brilho de um documento desta ordem. É uma grande pena que nenhum produtor de verdade tenha se interessado ao projeto e ter deixado à posteridade um disco de qualidade técnica à altura dos seus intérpretes.

    This great little album (yes, I wish it were longer too) shows both artists at their best. Radames Gnattali is such an excellent and tasteful pianist, and the interplay between the two is exciting and moving. I especially like Duas Contas; what a great version.

    Muito obrigado, Zeca!

    Es una pena que una música tan hermosa haya sido tan mal grabada. Este disco merecía una mejor producción musical, con gente que supiese lo que estaba haciendo.

    Pusieron en una competencia desleal a la guitarra y al piano. Eso nunca debió haber sido así pues ambos instrumentos estaban para complementarse, no para competir entre ellos. Vieron a la guitarra como un instrumento de relleno, de ambientación. La dejaron de fondo, en segundo plano, dándole al piano una relevancia desmedida. No quiero restar la importancia que tiene Gnatalli, sólo quiero hacer ver que, en este disco, él es co-intérprete con Rabello, un excelente guitarrista.

    Qué diferencia de calidad en la técnica de grabación entre este disco y el de Neco: Velvet Bossa... En verdad lamentable.

    Onde diz "Gnatalli" tem que dizer "Gnattali".
