Hello, good evening! I'm confident that many friends will be surprised with this album, such like us. I'm saying us because my transfers are now different from the way it was. Now I have an audience, a small, but very influent audience. They try to influence my choices and also make recommendations for future releases by digging my collection. This album provoked a very interest reaction on my small board of advisors, as soon as the transfer ended, they requested another spin, which was an appropriate request, this record is really amazing, Tito Madi and the surprising Nelly Martins worked as a team delivering a beauty of an album that you cannot miss. Let's see.
This is Nelly Martins & Tito Madi - Encontro no Sabado (1959), for Continental. The information available about Nelly Martins was very limited on my computer and something very strange happened when I started searching Google. The website which provided better details on Nelly Martins was Loronix, really. Nelly Martins appears on a very old challenge post accompanied by Lúcio Alves, Johnny Alf and and Tito Madi, available here or at the picture in your left.Additionally, Loronix comment section told me that Nelly Martins was married with the mighty Maestro Radames Gnattali, which is also the arranger of Encontro no Sabado.
Nelly Martins did not leave many records, only some 78RPMs and two LPs, Encontro no Sabado (this album) and an amazing instrumental piano album recorded in duo with Radames Gnattali, Radames Gnattali & Nelly Martins - Piano Duo (1967). What a nice story. Nelly Gnattali is also a gifted pianist and today works on preserving the memory of Radames Gnattali. Part of her work is available at Radames Gnattali official website, here. And as a last minute information, I found a YouTube video with Nelly Martins singing and Radames Gnattali performing at the piano, here. I said this post is amazing! Tracks include:
01 - Encontro no Sábado (Tito Madi / Georges Henry)
02 - Se (Mário Albanese / Nagib Nader)
03 - Quero-te Assim (Tito Madi)
04 - Faz Tanto Tempo (Tito Madi)
05 - Por Que (Pedro Dellober)
06 - És Tu (Domicio Augusto / Milton Silva)

Nelly Martins é a mesma dos discos infantis, alguns com Radamés Gnatalli ?
I'm really astonished with the huge quality this blog shows. Great!
I'll listen to this LP. Only one question:
Does anyone know which typography, the kind of font, of this album's title?
The font which is typed the title: "Encontro no Sabado". Very 50's and very great!
I'll thank you very much
Another great, great post! Thansk so much for this great Nelly Martins.
Parabéns!!!! Este disco é uma raridade! Um grande abraço!!
A beautiful cover photo... the natural light falling on the couple, the tree and the green leaves is amazing!
Maravilosa.
Gosto muito de ouvir canções na voz de Tito Madi. Mas confesso que sou tomado por uma certa apreensão antes da audição de discos românticos da década de 50 pois o uso de orquestrações era farta o que, em não raras vezes, torna o arranjo adocicado demais. Mas vamos ver como é este, com a Nelly Martins. Aproveito para agradecer o post, Loro.
Simplesmente delicioso esse disco, especialmente a primeira e a última música. Adorei !
Confesso que não lembrava mais da Nelly Martins. Coincidentemente, vejo hoje na SKY o final do filme "Garota Enxuta", com ela e o Agnaldo Rayol.
Obrigada.
The Platters gravaram "Quero-te Assim"... o título em inglês é "I Will".
