Elizeth Cardoso - Fim de Noite (1957)

Finally, Fim de Noite arrives at Loronix. Once again by the tireless Jorge Mello, continuously showing the great passion he has for Brazilian music, knowledge and a sincere sharing spirit by make available to us fantastic picks taken from his personal collection. Everybody know I was hunting this one to replace my own copy, terrible scratch and impossible to make an acceptable transfer. Fim de Noite was recorded in 1957, the same year of another Elizeth Cardoso album that is one of my favorites, Noturno. Let's see.

This is Elizeth Cardoso - Fim de Noite (1957), for Copacabana. I don't know which one was first released or recorded, probably Fim de Noite came first as it was released on 10-inch. Both are very similar, but Fim de Noite has a dark atmosphere, sometimes sad and with a strange beauty that is very difficult to resist. Tracks include:

01 - Na Madrugada (Betinho / Heitor Carrilo)
02 - Último Desejo (Noel Rosa)
03 - Velhas Memórias (Lombardi Filho / Pedro Rogerio)
04 - Prece ao Vento (Gilvan Chaves / Fernando Luis / Alcyr Pires Vermelho)
05 - Amor Oculto (José Saleme / Lucas Vieira)
06 - Feitio de Oração (Vadico / Noel Rosa / Vadico)
07 - O Amor É Fado (Mirabeau / Don Madrid)
08 - No Rancho Fundo (Ary Barroso / Lamartine Babo)
