Radames Gnattali - Joias Musicais Brasileiras (1954)

Hello, good evening! My Internet access stills very limited with extremely slow upload rates. I did not want to keep Loronix with no updates today and my solution was gathering a 10-inch album, which is not an issue since we have truly amazing albums to explore in the format. This one is a perfect example, this is the second LP released by Maestro Radames Gnattali at Continental. For reasons that I cannot understand Radames Gnattali name is not available at the front cover, just like the first one. It is necessary to read the back cover for this information. I would like to remember that covers and individual tracks are always available at the end my writings as individual downloads; the covers are available as direct download links with no Rapidshare. Let's see.


This is Radames Gnattali - Joias Musicais do Brasil (1954), for Continental, featuring Radames Gnattali selections. arrangements and piano. A small and not credited band makes the accompaniement. All my searches on this album failured, which was the way I choose to retrieve credit information on the good musicians we have here, especially the guitar and accordion player. Tracks include:

01 - Rancho Fundo (Ary Barroso / Lamartine Babo)
02 - Despertar da Montanha (Eduardo Souto)
03 - Casinha Pequenina (Tradicional)
04 - Luar de Paquetá (Hermes Fontes / Freire Júnior)
05 - Nuvens (Eduardo Souto)
06 - Carinhoso (Pixinguinha / João de Barro)
07 - Guacyra (Hekel Tavares / Joracy Camargo)
08 - Linda Flor (Henrique Vogeler / Cândido Costa / Luiz Peixoto)

    Jóias Musicais Brasileiras (O Clássico da Música Popular Brasileira) foi lançado em 1954 pela Continental (LP-V-2002) em forma de LP de 10 polegadas, mas contém gravações feitas em 1953 lançadas originalmente em 78 rpm. A informação nos selos dos 78 rpm é escassa: Radamés Gnattali e Orquestra. Algumas dessas gravações constam dos CDs "Mestres da MPB – Radamés Gnattali, volumes 1 e 2" de 1994 e 1995. A outra metade era inédita (i.e. eu não tinha). Mais do que suficiente para me tirar do meu torpor loronixiano e escrever este comentário: Mille Mercis! Grande abraço. AdHoc

    Excelente Loronix!
    Agradeço quando nos brinda com lançamentos de qualidade da nossa música instrumental brasileira como este pelo Radamés Gnattali.

    O guitarriste muitíssimo provavelmente é José Menezes e o acordeon é Chiquinho. O baterista, por ser meu mestre e conhecê-lo muito bem, é Lucuano Perrone pelo jeito de tocar. Abraços,

    Absolutely lovely album. Thank you so much.

    A correction: the lyricist of "Guacyra" is Joracy (not Juraci) Camargo.

    Also, since the lyricists of the other songs were named, it's only fair to name those of "Linda Flor" as well. They are Cândido Costa and Luiz Peixoto (who wrote different lyrics but are traditionally included in the credits).

    Thanks again for this jewel.
