It is surprising that we still have Elizeth Cardoso albums not yet shown at Loronix and also out of print. This album was kept on “waiting position” for a long time; I thought it was only a compilation of her best songs released in the 78 RPM format. I decided to compare these recordings with their respective 78rpm releases and could easily understand that Grandes Momentos com Elizeth Cardoso is a career album with new recordings of her major success in 78s. Once again, Elizeth Cardoso delivers a lovely record featuring the artistic direction of Moacyr Silva, who also puts his tenor sax to play. When Elizeth Cardoso and Moacyr Silva work together it is a failure proof mission. Let’s see.This is Elizeth Cardoso – Grandes Momentos com Elizeth Cardoso (1962), for Copacabana, featuring new recording of very old Elizeth Cardoso cuts. I think you will feel uncomfortable as I was reading “ELIZETE” instead of “ELIZETH” as we are used. This is not an error; Elizeth Cardoso only adopted the “TH” in 1966. Copacabana did not credit musicians in this session. Tracks include:
01 - Canção de Amor (Chocolate / Elano de Paula)
02 - Caixa Postal Zero Zero (Oscar Bellandi / Luis de França)
03 - Subúrbio (Luis Antônio)
04 - O Amor É Uma Canção (José Maria de Abreu / Jair Amorim)
05 - Se Eu Pudesse (José Maria de Abreu / Jair Amorim)
06 - Dá-me Tuas Mãos (Erasmo Silva / Jorge de Castro)
07 - Graças a Deus (Carioca)
08 - Nunca É Tarde (João Pinto)
09 - Venho de Longe (Dermeval Fonseca / Alberto Ribeiro)
10 - Seresteiro (Zé Keti / Renato Lima / Tufic Lauar)
