Elizeth Cardoso - Feito em Casa (1974)

Hello, good evening! Today I decided to pick up one of my first vinyl transfers at Loronix and made it again, just to see if my skills were improved after making several others transfers across the last year. My choice was this fantastic and underrated Elizeth Cardoso LP, released in 1974 at Copacabana. I read that Joao Gilberto reaches his magnificent guitar playing and interpretation using repetitions and repetition really makes you perform better. This reposting is the outcome with improvements on music and also front and back cover scans. I'm gathering my first April 1 2007 writing. Let's see.

Original writing

Let's make a solid start today posting a album that is probably unknown to many friends, recorded by one of the most loved female singer at Loronix, Elizeth Cardoso.

This is Elizeth Cardoso - Feito em Casa (1974), for Copacabana, all about Samba from start to end with Elizeth Cardoso delivering all her vocal tricks, accompanied by a female chorus and arranged by top-notch Brazilian Maestros, such as Geraldo Vespar, Chiquinho de Moraes and Sergio Carvalho. Samba fans will be delighted with this album that reveals Elizeth Cardoso as a really nice Samba interpreter. The back cover has something never seen before, photos of all composers of the twelve tracks. Elizeth seems to be really in charge of each record she makes. Feito em Casa has also the mighty Moacyr Silva as production director.

I'm sending also a gorgeous video with voice and bass featuring Elizeth Cardoso and Luiz Chaves of Zimbo Trio performing Se Queres Saber (Peter Pan). It is not necessary to say, but I like to say if you forget, it is another Powered by Luiz Harding video. Tracks include:

    I've given up all attempts at objectivity regarding Elizeth, but this one is really a great (mostly but not only) samba album. But then again, Elizeth's albums were never less than very good. There are pictures of the composers in the back-cover, but the musicians who played in this session are not mentioned. They're probably the guys in the front cover. Who are they? Zeca, that's probably a good challenge game.

    this is a good album, but the levels on the recording need to be tweaked a bit as it seems some of the louder, heavier vocals are distorted and/or clipping...

    Vendo o post referente ao álbum "Elizeth Cardoso - Feito em Casa (1974)", postado em 07 de março de 2008 por Zecalouro, pude notar um pequeno lápso, pois a foto nomenclaturada como sendo "Ari do Cavaco & Otacilio" são na realidade os autores de "Amor Infinito (Paulo Valdez / Demócrito de Azevedo)".
