Hello, good evening! It is really, really nice to share another album recorded by Maestro Simonetti. It is also really amazing to know that this one never had a previous release at Loronix. I think Simonetti has many fans among Loronix's community, such like Caetano Rodrigues, another Simonetti enthusiast that should be really pleased to see this one. By the way, this cover is simple, but is very beautiful and very efficient to sell this kind of album. Let's see.This is Simonetti e Sua Orquestra - Dance com Simonetti (1961), for RGE, featuring renditions a Brazilian and international repertoire in the "Para Dancar" style. Simonetti was born in Italy, came to Brazil in 1949, staying until the mid 1960's, when he decided to come back to his homeland in Italy. Simonetti was very famous in Brazil, recording several albums, writing arrangements to renowned Brazilian artists, such like: Maysa, Agostinho dos Santos, Elza Laranjeira, Dick Farney, Leny Eversong, and many others. He was an active songwriter to Vera Cruz, a famous Brazilian movie studio and also a host of shows in Brazilian TV. My knowledge on Simonetti activities in Italy is very limited, feel free to send comments if you have additional information. Tracks include:
01 - O Homem do Braço de Ouro (Delilah Jones) (S. Fyne / E. Bernstein)
02 - Chá-chá-chá Egypcio (Claude)
03 - Blue Mon (L. Hart / R. Rodgers)
04 - Babá de Mulher (Haroldo Barbosa / Luis Reis)
05 - Bombay (Welk / Cates)
06 - Brasil 61 (Claude)
07 - The Exodus Song (Gold / P. Boone)
08 - C'est Magnifique (Cole Porter)
09 - La Habanera (Da Ópera ''Carmen'') (Bizet)
10 - Tonight My Love Tonight (Paul Anka)
11 - The Continental (Magidson / Genrad)

this is a surprise. during my childhood in the 60's il Maestro Enrico Simonetti was a popular figure in italian tv.
ReplyDeletehis son composed soundtrack for dario argento's suspiria.
if you understand italian, this is a short wiki: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enrico_Simonetti
ciao da Padova (e grazie per lo splendido sito! muito obrigado!)
Fabio is right, Enrico Simonetti was very popular in Italy in the 60s and 70s, often working in TV shows with divas like Mina, Milva and Ornella Vanoni. His best success was "Il mio pianoforte", a song published in 1972.
ReplyDeleteIn the 70s his son Claudio was a founding member of the prog band Goblin, well known in our country for their work as soundtrack composers for Dario Argento (Profondo Rosso, Suspiria, etc.).

Nos anos 60, eu assistia ao Simonetti Show, na TV Excelsior, um programa musical com muito humor.
ReplyDeleteObrigado, Zeca, por esse maravilhoso disco.
Abraço,

Olá, Loro!
ReplyDeleteTenho uma sugestão de disco para o teu blog. O LP Palhaços e Reis(1974-Philips/Phonogram) do Grupo MPB-4.Ele é fantástico.
Abraço
Once again: an outstanding album with an outstanding bandleader. He's worth all appreciation - thanks a lot
ReplyDeleteSimonetti foi maestro da Orquestra RGE e arranjador de Meu Mundo Caiu, com aquele diálogo maravilhoso entre o trompete e a orquestra. Aliás, creio que arranjador da série Para Ouvir Maysa, especialmente o nº 2. Se conseguir a gravação, eu mando para Zeca Louro. Se tiverem, mandem para ficar aqui no Loronix.
ReplyDeleteEncontrei um comentário para este disco de Maysa que citei na nota anterior (mas, infelizmente, não tem link para download): http://www.luizamerico.com.br/fundamentais-maysa.php
ReplyDeleteNa verdade, Riminsky e Korsakov, como aparece no disco creditado para Scherazade, são a mesma pessoa, o compositor russo Nikolai Riminski Korsakov.Abraço.
