Quarteto em Cy – Querelas do Brasil (1978)

Hello, good evening! I think we will have today the same situation we had tomorrow on our last post, an unknown album recorded by a great artist and never released in CD. Maybe I’m wrong, but except from some occasional and small reissues, Quarteto em Cy – Querelas do Brasil, never had a chance to be released at the digital age.

This is a repost, Querelas do Brasil was made available first in November 2006 with no back cover, transferred at a low bitrate and had a track missing. Everything is now updated and I hope you have a very nice time with this great vocal group.
Let’s see.

This is Quarteto em Cy – Querelas do Brasil (1978), for Philips, which is probably the most “political flavored” album released by the girls, with several lyrics about Brazilian problems of that time. By the way, the album title is taken from one of those songs; Querelas do Brasil by Mauricio Tapajos and Aldir Blanc.

Such as many Brazilian albums released in the 70’s, Querelas do Brazil features a constellation of Brazilian musicians, including Sivuca, Antonio Adolfo, Luizao, Neco, Copinha, Raul de Barros and many others.

Tracks include:

Paulinho Braga, Zequinha

track 4 “love, love, love” is missing

O Quarteto em Cy é um marco na MPB de qualidade. Pena não ser divulgado e executado como deveria, para que as pessoas mais “mudernas” pudessem desfrutar de música que vai da empolgação à delicadeza, sem perder a classe e o prazer que esse antológico quarteto nos proporciona. Palavras de fã, é claro.
A propósito, teria como conseguir o link para o disco “And roses, and roses”, do Quarteto em Cy & Caymmi? É um dos pouquíssimos que me faltam, e não o consigo em lugar nenhum.
Obrigado.

Seria possível postar “Baioque”, com as meninas do Quarteto em Cy?

Hello, good evening! It is really nice to be back to Loronix after 2 days of rest, which in fact were taken by lots of very hard and productive work.

Miltinho and Doris Monteiro were during this time and I believe it was a great choice. Anyway, the show must go on, and I would like to start with another flawless release sponsored by Jorge Mello, featuring an artist appreciated by our community as a whole.
Let’s see.

This is Waltel Branco – Musicas do Seculo XVI ao Seculo XX (1974), for Itamaraty. Actually, this album was first released in 1974 by another label, the tiny Magic Music, and Jorge Mello presents a later Itamaraty reissue, whose date I could not track on my searches. The album is exactly what its title suggests; Waltel Branco delivers violao renditions of music written across the XVI and XX centuries, including his own compositions, such like track 09 – Preludio Sarabanda e Bourree (Waltel Branco), which is also my choice to Loronix Preview Center.

Tracks include:

01 – Canções do Seculo XVI (Tradicional)
02 – Ballet (Gluck)
03 – Romanza (Schumann)
04 – Valsa Nr 15 (Brahms)
05 – Ballet (Weiss)
06 – Preludio Nr 20 (Frederic Chopin)
07 – Estudos 1 e 6 (Sor)
08 – Sarabanda (Poulenc)
09 – Preludio Sarabanda e Bourree (Waltel Branco)
10 – Preludio Nr 2 (Villa-Lobos)
11 – Andante (Staak)
12 – Moda de Viola (Waltel Branco)

Zeca, você não sabe a quantidade de tempo que tenho sem escutar estes Estudios de Sor. Comparados com outros Estudios de outros compositores eles são muito simples, mas todo o que tem de sencillez também o tem de doçura. É muito bom que você tenha publicado este disco porque a música clássica e muito bela e é bom que a gente possa ter contato com ela ainda que seja a través de músicos populares que a gente conhece. Muito, muito agradecida. Abraços,

Nina

Nice record but the record skips on Side Two making it not listenable. Thanks anyway, it’s nice to have the few good sogs here, always love Waltel Branco.

Marisa Barros & Astor Silva – Marisa Barroso / Astor (1963)

Brazilian female singers have something special. Nelson Motta said one day that Brazil is a country of female singers. I agree.

Our community gives always a nice feedback on Brazilian divas. It is time to remember a Brazilian diva that was introduced to us by Caetano Rodrigues, Thelma Soares or just Thelma. I’m quite sure that only a few Loronixers knew Thelma before presented here.

Caetano is now thrilling us with a new female singer and I think she can make as Thelma.

Meet Marisa Barroso with the legendary Astor Silva from Os Ipanemas.

This is Marisa Barroso & Astor Silva – Marisa Barroso / Astor (1963), for Columbia. Thelma was revealed by Vinicius de Moraes and Beatriz Azevedo de Brito by Ary Barroso, this is the reason for the artistic name. Marisa Barroso recorded several 78rpm and three LPs, such as Thelma that also made three albums. Anyway, I think it is better hear Marisa Barroso & Astor Silva, instead of finding coincidences. Astor is a top-notch musician that we know for several albums at Loronix, performing the roles of trombonist and arranger.

Tracks include:

01 – Chorando Você (Glauco / Fernando Pereira / João Ribeiro)
02 – Ele e Maria (Othon Russo / Niquinho)
03 – Banca de Pobre (Rildo Hora / Marcos André)
04 – Bondinho do Pão de Açúcar (Victor Freire / A. C. de Albuquerque)
05 – Abc do Balanço (Orlandivo / Roberto Nascimento)
06 – Esse Seu Olhar (Tom Jobim) — Só Em Teus Braços (Tom Jobim)
07 – Bossa Nova Nº 1 (José Maria de Abreu)
08 – Ódio (Aloísio Figueiredo / Nelson Figueiredo)
09 – Lamento Negro (Orlandivo / Roberto Jorge)
10 – Garota de Ipanema (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
11 – Vou Ficar Com Você (Sergio Napp)
12 – Brincando Gostei (Watel / Orlandivo)

“Uff,yeahh” Caetano makes my day.
Unbelievable! Yesterday I thought about this Barros/Silva Lp of my vinil collection -very worry about knowing about the poor condition of my Lp in hope to find a better one day and this morning I woke up and what see my eyes- Such things are only possible with Caetano-who elese can show better the history of the bossa nova years than Caetano.
Thanks so much.
Best wishes

Vanja Orico – Viagem Musical com Vanja Orico (1955)

Originalmente postado no Loronix em 22 de maio 2008.

Hello, good evening! I want to introduce Loronixers to a new artist, which is a very old recommendation by Refer, made as soon as Loronix has started. By the way, it has been a long time I do not see Refer on comments. I hope he shows up with this album, another nice contribution by Jorge Mello.

Vanja Orico is an extraordinary artist, being also an actress, actually, her career as an actress is stronger than her singing activities. She is really a complex and intriguing woman.
Let’s see.

This is Vanja Orico – Viagem Musical (1955), for Sinter, which is Vanja Orico debut LP, performing a repertoire based on different Brazilian traditional music from several regions, including Samba, Baiao, Xote, Toada, Capoeira and some other styles I never heard about, such as Côco and Rojao.

The result is very satisfactory with Vanja Orico delivering beautiful singing and some interpretation of each style. A Google search on Vanja Orico returns loads and loads of information and I learned today that her first experience as a singer was in 1950 when she was 16 studying at a num college in Europe.

Vanja Orico came out one day for a walking and found a movie set on a busy street in Italy. There was Frederico Fellini that invited Vanja Orico to make a participation on his movie singing Meu Limao, Meu Limoeiro and playing violao.

Thanks Jorge Mello for this first and really nice Vanja Orico album at Loronix.

Tracks include:

01 – Canoeiro do Itapicurú (Reginaldo Nascimento) Côco 02 – Prenda Minha (Tradicional) Xótes
03 – João Valentão (Dorival Caymmi) Samba
04 – Muié Rendeira (Tradicional) Rojão
05 – Peixe Vivo (Tradicional) Baião
06 – Lenda do Abaeté (Dorival Caymmi) Canção
07 – Yayá Vancê Qué Morrê (Tradicional) Toada
08 – Berimbau (João Mello / Clodoaldo Brito) Capoeira

O curioso deste disco é que na capa a palavra “musical” vem com acento agudo no “u”. Será que os produtores do disco não viram isto?

I love this album! I intended to send a copy of this to Loronix a long time ago but coauldn’t make a decent transfer. I found a copy in a charity shop in Leith in Edinburgh a few years ago – I’m always amazed at how many Brazilian records I find here in Scotland. Vanja’s versions of these songs have led me to investigate many other artists, in particular Dorival Caymmi. I believe that Mule Rendeira was used in the film O Cangaceiro, and was subsequently adopted by many singers around the world. It was also this record which introduced me to the fascinating story of Lampiao.

Tito Madi – Sua Voz… Suas Composições… (1958)

Originalmente postado no Loronix em 17 de maio 2008.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Hello, good evening! It is amazing that even after 2 years Loronix is still capable of revealing never released albums of very important artists. I believe that only a few friends had the chance to hear this album, recorded by Tito Madi in partnership with Maestro Rafael Puglielli in 1958 and never released on CD.

Another awesome Jorge Mello contribution, which I would like to say thanks for keeping us amazed with really nice music and content.
Let’s see.

This is Tito Madi – Sua Voz… Suas Composicoes (1958), for Continental, featuring only Tito Madi compositions and Maestro Rafael Puglielli performs solo with orchestra on tracks 01 and 07 and probably delivers accompaniment to Tito Madi across the whole session. Little I know about this really hard to find album, such as all others recorded by Tito Madi in the late 50′s.

Tracks include:

01 – Rio Triste (Tito Madi) Fui Procurar Distração (Tito Madi) with Rafael Puglielli e Sua Orquestra
02 – Quando a Chuva Não Vem (Tito Madi)
03 – Senhorita (Tito Madi)
04 – Rio Triste (Tito Madi)
05 – Joguete de Amor (Tito Madi / Georges Henry)
06 – Cansei de Ilusões (Tito Madi)
07 – Chove Lá Fora (Tito Madi) Olha-me Diga-me (Tito Madi) with Rafael Puglielli e Sua Orquestra
08 – Fui Procurar Distração (Tito Madi)
09 – Fracassos de Amor (Tito Madi / Milton Silva)
10 – Olha-me Diga-me (Tito Madi)
11 – Canto do Engraxate (Tito Madi)

Comments:  

BrazilOnGuitar says: Unfortunately, we did not find out the exact recording date of this first live record by BP. The half-hour recording in the Teatro Santa Rosa is another proof of his guitar abilities in 1966 and stands for his intense playing style. The sound quality of the recording is not the best and could not be improved significantly with the 2003 cd re-issue. However, BP's guitar playing is so precise and exciting that the sound can be overlooked.

The recordings give the impression of a creative and very vital musician, whose life is completely devoted to music. At this time BP had developed great musicality and an impressive technique. It seems that on Teatro Santa Rosa he wanted to set other standards. In his high tempi there could be missed the depth and relaxation of later years, which is understandable thinking of his playing speed.

Originalmente postado no Loronix em 16 de maio 2008.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Hello, good evening! I am very happy to update Loronix after four days, which is the largest hiatus since Loronix creation two years ago.

I hope you missed myself and new music such as I did. There were four days, but seems to be four years, in the third night I had a dream I was in the middle of amazing blog posts. Anyway, I will need some adaptation time until getting the old pace, and this is the reason why I’m making this really nice record in the hope you don’t read me, kindly sent and strongly recommended by Jorge Mello. Let’s see.

This is Laurindo Almeida e Ray Turner – Impressoes do Brasil (1957), for Capitol, featuring Laurindo Almeida guitar and Ray Turner piano performing a Brazilian repertoire with selected cuts from Radames Gnattali, Heitor Villa Lobos, Laurindo Almeida and the legendary Garoto. Maestro Radames Gnattali has the whole side A, the only side the unknown Ray Turner plays, while side B features two Laurindo Almeida compositions, one Villa Lobos choro and three Garoto tunes performed by Laurindo, which are the ones that I like most and worth the entire album. Thanks Jorge Mello for this first out of several unknown Laurindo Almeida LPs.

Tracks include:

01 – Allegro – Concertino Nr. 2 para Violao e Piano (Radamés Gnattali)
02 – Adagio – Concertino Nr. 2 para Violao e Piano (Radamés Gnattali)
03 – Presto – Concertino Nr. 2 para Violao e Piano (Radamés Gnattali)
04 – Saudade (Radamés Gnattali)
05 – Choro Triste (Garoto)
06 – Choro Gracioso (Garoto)
07 – Nosso Choro (Garoto)
08 – Serenata (Laurindo Almeida)
09 – Crepúsculo Em Copacabana (Laurindo Almeida)
10 – Gavotta-choro (Villa-Lobos)

jorge mello on Friday, 16 May, 2008
“Impressões do Brasil” traz as primeiras gravações comerciais de duas pérolas da produção violonística de Garoto:Gracioso e Nosso Choro. A música Choro Triste(nº1) também conhecida como Tristezas de um violão, fora gravada 6 anos antes pelo próprio autor.
O Concertino nº2 foi dedicado a Garoto e por ele apresentado no Teatro Municipal RJ acompanhado da Orquestra Sinfonica daquele teatro.Aqui ele é apresentado na sua versão reduzida para piano e violão. Serenade, autoria de Laurindo, é dedicada a Garoto.

Fantástico seu site. Adoro os discos de Laurindo Almeida. Tive, e depois perdi, o LP “The Spanish Guitars of Laurindo Almeida” que ganhou um Grammy em 1961. Foi o meu primeiro contacto com um músico brasileiro. Será que o disco está disponível em algum lugar?

Elizeth Cardoso – Fim de Noite (1957)

Comentários originais incluídos.

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)

Elizeth Cardoso – Noturno (1957)

Originalmente postado no Loronix em 24 de julho 2007.
Comentários originais incluídos.
Extra: Arquivo em FLAC

This is a repost of a breathtaking album, released in the very beginning of Loronix and one of posts that made me feel gladder when I made it.

Elizeth Cardoso – Noturno (1957) is really fantastic, it is the first 12-inch record by Elizeth Cardoso and has something very curious, some tunes were considered old at that time, with their first recording almost 30 years before Noturno release. In summary, we have a 50 years old album with 80-year-old songs.

This is Elizeth Cardoso – Noturno (1957), for Copacabana. Even if you already have the earlier music from the original post, take this one. The music is improved and was taken by one of those last anonymous contributions to Loronix. There are songs of Noel Rosa, Custodio Mesquita, Ary Barroso, Silvio Caldas mixed with fresh compositions of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Tito Madi.

Tracks include:

01 – Na Baixa do Sapateiro (Ary Barroso)
02 – Risque (Ary Barroso)
03 – Chove Lá Fora (Tito Madi)
04 – Molambo (Jaime Florence “Meira” / Augusto Mesquita)
05 – Feitiço da Vila (Vadico / Noel Rosa)
06 – Noturno Em Tempo de Samba (Custódio Mesquita / Evaldo Ruy)
07 – Se Todos Fossem Iguais a Você (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
08 – Chão de Estrelas (Silvio Caldas / Orestes Barbosa)
09 – Olhos Verdes (Vicente Paiva)
10 – Promessa (Custódio Mesquita / Evaldo Ruy)

This album is a classic among classics and a doorway to a time–or, should I say, grandeur–lost. Each song is a production done with consummate taste. Elizete Cardoso is Brazil’s nightengale. Her vibrato is so beautiful that at times it sounds like the trilling of a bird. On “Chove La Fora” she reaches heights of vocal art that I have rarely heard. And “Noturno” is such a tour de force for her considerable talents that I can see why it is the title tune. And, finally, mention must be made of the exquisite introduction to “Se Todos Fessem Iquais a Voce.” With the posting of this extraordinary album, your blog becomes an oasis of beauty and of transcendant art. You will find it hard to top this album. It is a masterpiece.

Obrigado Zecalouro por mais essa jóia do cancioneiro brasileiro. Esse é, talvez, o mais clássico lp da Divina. Não há nada que se compare a interpreção soberta de Elizete em Noturno.
Uma sugestão: tenho sérias dificuldades com o inglês e porisso solicito que, se for possível, faça seus comentário dos discos também em português. Pode ser mesmo em manauense.
Artur Pedreira

zecalouro on Wednesday, 02 August, 2006
Hello David, Hello Artur,

Before Noturno, zecalouro was sure that the only human on earth that could sing as sharp as an instrument was Joao Gilberto. This LP shows that I was wrong.
By this record, the production, repertoire selection and arrangements it is clear that Elizeth has control of everything she does, end to end. I don’t know if you understand Portuguese but this is clearly a conceptual LP where each song links with the next building a theme as result of the overall experience.
Angela Maria is another great singer, perhaps better than Elizeth. In the other hand, Angela does not have any kind of control of overall recording process, resulting in some weird LP as we could see on her last post.
Anyway, since it is a classic, I’m making available a giant size artwork from front and back cover: Front http://tinyurl.com/zkmkt – and Back – http://tinyurl.com/zdcu4

Artur,
Obrigado por ter apreciado o Noturno, tudo nesse disco saiu direito.
Quanto ao idioma tupiniquim, seria maravilhoso escrever em portugues, mas acho que o ingles permite que muito mais gente consiga acesar e entender as informações de cada post. Apesar de nós aqui do Brasil contarmos com a maior parte dos usuários existem mais 82 países que já visitaram o Loronix, dentre esses, talvez uns 10 tenham o portugues como língua mater.
Mas tem um remédio que se não resolve, ajuda um pouco. O Babelfish, um tradutor on-line, capaz de fazer uma tradução razoável. Experimente esse link: http://babelfish.altavista.com e preencha abaixo de Translate a Web page o endereço do Loronixhttp://loronix.blogspot.com.

I am a long time admirer of your blog and have been meaning to leave you comments many times. You do such a great job of presenting all this wonderful music. I want to thank you for offering this Elizeth Cardoso album in flac. I prefer the lossless format and would love to see all future posts be in flac. I do understand that the files are larger, but from an archival point of view you only need to rip the vinyl ONCE and then it can be compressed to whatever degree people want.
My only small, tiny complaint is that I wish you would use diacritical marks when you tag the files. I may be overly picky, but it makes reading the track information (in my poor Portuguese) much easier if I don’t have to struggle with whether it was an e (and) or an é (is) on the display. I also wouldn’t have to constantly keep making notes to change nao to não and coracao to coração. It is amazing how many times these words are used in song titles!
I don’t mean to gripe. It would just make what is a great blog into a blog maravilhoso (is blog masculine or feminine?).
Thanks again for a wonderful site. Keep up the great work.

Caro Loronix.
Mais uma obra-prima de uma das duas maiores cantoras que este Brasil já teve (o meu dilema é que entre a Divina e a Pimentinha eu não consigo distingüir a melhor).
Quando entra a voz da Elizete na “Baixa do Sapateiro” é de arrepiar.
Obrigado,
Gambini
PS: Poderemos ter novamente o “Ao Vivo em Tóquio?”

One of greatest albums ever recorded (anywhere, anytime, any kind of music). Thanks so much for the post.
By the way, FLAC encoded files sound so much better than (128 kbs) MP3, that FLAC encoding should be rule, not the exception.

I had never heard this before, it is a fantastic recording of songs & voice. I highly recommend it to everyone reading these comments.

Dear Friends,
Thanks for all comments at this post. Just want to remember that Noturno was recorded in 1957, 51 years ago and stills an extraordinary album that should be taken in consideration on every serious list of Brazilian top albums ever.
Thanks once again,

Luiz Bonfá – Passeio no Rio (1960)

Originalmente postado no Loronix em 09 de maio 2008.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Hello, good morning! Yesterday I was very tired; life has been really busy down here. And when that happens, the day always ends in the worst possible way, by accident; I slept on the sofa reading the back cover of this beautiful EP sent to us by Jorge Mello. I feel in the obligation of sharing this one in this extraordinary morning post.
Let’s see.

This is Luiz Bonfa – Passeio no Rio (1960), for Odeon, featuring four songs, including the anthological Luiz Bonfa’s Manha de Carnaval, with Luiz Bonfa singing.

I could not check if these songs were recorded exclusively for this 7-inch EP, which is something that I will let you identify, I’m late for work and must leave in a second.

Have a good day and do not miss another Brazilian music night at Loronix today.

Tracks include:

01 – Manha de Carnaval (Luiz Bonfa / Antonio Maria)
02 – Passeio no Rio (Luiz Bonfa)
03 – Samba de Orfeu (Luiz Bonfa / Antonio Maria)
04 – Mosaico (Luiz Bonfa)
