I cannot remember how many requests I have received by friends searching for "The album that Jobim recorded with Piazzolla" or "the record they play together". I explain that both never had the chance to perform together and the root cause of the misunderstanding was an album recorded in tribute of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Astor Piazzolla. People did not get convinced with my explanations, but now I think everybody will understand, courtesy of the mighty JOAO-SP that kindly sent this album on perfect conditions to our community. Thanks once again JOAO-SP. Let's see.
This is Orquestra de Camera de Blumenau - Jobim & Piazzolla | Encontro (1988), for Basf, featuring two different situations on a single album, Side A brings Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes compositions, performed by Orquestra de Camera de Blumenau with arrangements by Maestro Guerra Peixe, while Side B is dedicated to Astor Piazzolla, performed by the same Orchestra with arrangements in charge of Jose Bragatto. This album is much better than my best estimates, both sessions are unique with Orquestra de Camera de Blumenal conduced by Norton Morozowicz, also in charge of art direction. Loronix Preview Center brings a selected tune by Antonio Carlos Jobim and an additional track with Astor Piazzolla music. Tracks include:
01 - Canta, Canta Mais (Antonio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
02 - Sem Voce (Antonio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
03 - Por Toda a Minha Vida (Antonio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
04 - Eu Nao Existo sem Voce (Antonio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
05 - Cancao do Amor Demais (Antonio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
06 - Modinha (Antonio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
07 - Estrada Branca (Antonio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
08 - El Calambre (Astor Piazzolla)
09 - Melodia em La Menor (Astor Piazzolla)
10 - La Muerte del Angel (Astor Piazzolla)
11 - Berceuse (Astor Piazzolla)
12 - Primavera Portena (Astor Piazzolla)
Matou a pau, Zeca ! Vários conhecidos já vieram com papo de gravação dos dois juntos e eu sempre insisti q isso nunca aconteceu. Agora tenho a prova hehehe
ReplyDeleteEm tempo: ali por 1992~1994 era fácil achar esse cedê, nem me animei a comprar por causa disso. Hoje é impossível !
Abs.
Interesting is that this was released
ReplyDeleteon the black forest label MPS/BASF (Germany) was it ever released in Brasil?
O lado do Jobin é legal. Mas, o lado do Piazzolla é impressionantemente belo. Onde anda esse arranjador Jose Bragatto? E essa orquestra: um espetáculo.
ReplyDeleteJá me viciei nesse blog.
