Claudio Santoro - Preludios e Cancoes de Amor (1989)

Hello, good evening! Let's start today showing a tribute album released by Coca Cola company to an artist never approached before at Loronix, which is Maestro Claudio Santoro, a very important musician that influenced renowned Brazilian popular artists, such like Antonio Carlos Jobim and Radames Gnattali. Claudio Santoro was a very prolific composer, leaving nine symphonies, three piano concertos and seven string quartets. He died in the city of Brasilia on the March 1989, while conducting the rehearsal of an orchestra. I urge Loronixers to visit the official Claudio Santoro website, owned and maintained by Alessandro Santoro, it truly one of the best tribute website I have ever seen to a musician, featuring both Portuguese and English section, at http://www.claudiosantoro.art.br.

This is Claudio Santoro - Preludios e Cancoes de Amor (1989), sponsored by Coca Cola company and never made available commercially, only distributed to customers as part of 1989 Christmas celebrations. Gilson Peranzzetta plays piano and leads a constellation of Brazilian musicians to perform ten Claudio Santoro compositions, such as Oscar Castro Neves, Quarteto em Cy, Boca Livre, Jacques Morelenbaum, among others. The back cover brings liner notes by Maestro Antonio Carlos Jobim. Tracks include:
