Elizeth Cardoso - Cancao do Amor Demais (1958)

We started the weekend with the repost of Milton Banana Trio - Balancando com Milton Banana Trio and we are now closing with another repost, by the way, a mandatory repost. This album has a very important role on the history of the music from Brazil and the music that connect our hearts at Loronix, the Bossa Nova.

This is Elizeth Cardoso - Cancao do Amor Demais (1958). Recorded in 1958 by the small label Festa, Cancao do Amor Demais brings 13 compositions of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes and Joao Gilberto making the first recording of his famous Bossa Nova playing style. Antonio Carlos Jobim is also in charge of arrangements and piano. In spite of being a historical album, Cancao do Amor Demais is delicious to hear, even after 50 years. Elizeth Cardoso is the main performer and this is one of her best records I have heard.

I bought this vinyl a week ago in one of those hard to explain bargains This is not the original edition, but a reissue made by Festa in 1960, two years before. The back cover brings a wonderful hand write liner note by Vinicius de Moraes, included inside the music and so good that I'm making available here if you cannot wait. I hope you support these weekend reposting; I will focus on essentials and the already explained criterion of making it in an excelent quality. Tracks include:

Reposts são sempre bem recebidos.
Nem sempre a cabeça está predisposta a usar o Find It em busca de determinado album.
Um repost (você deve ter uma estatística dos mais solicitados, baixados) vem sempre em boa hora.
Como esse.
Com novidade na capa e, acredito, na qualidade da gravação.

Zeca, parabens por essa divulgaçao! Eu o tenho em cd, adquirido em sebo.
É obra de qualidade!
O Estrada branca é belissimo, só acompanhada do Tom, com todos aqueles traiçoeiros semitons, onde muita gente boa desafina.
Segundo o encarte, foi gravado em janeiro de 1958 no estudio da Odeon; 1a. ediçao, abril de 1958.
