Publicado em: Sunday, January 04, 2009 by zecalouro

Hello, Happy New Year! I want to open this year with something different and also unique. It is not music, but poetry, written and spoken by one of the greatest Brazilian artists from the last century, Vinicius de Moraes. According with Sombras, this little EP was released in 1959; I could not find this information inspecting the cover, as well the record label. Anyway, this is one of the first albums recorded by Vinicius de Moraes as main performer. Let’s see.

This is Vinicius de Moraes – Vinicius de Moraes (1959), for Festa, featuring poetry written and spoken by Vinicius de Moraes. As a second warning, this is not music, but poetry in Portuguese language. I’m not versed on poetry, but these five tracks and Vinicius de Moraes interpretation of his work are delicious to hear. Tracks include, sorry, poems are:

01 – O Mergulhador (Vinicius de Moraes)
02 – Soneto Nr. 2 – De Meditacao (Vinicius de Moraes)
03 – Os Acrobatas (Vinicius de Moraes)
04 – A Hora Intima (Vinicius de Moraes)
05 – Receita de Mulher (Vinicius de Moraes)

Hello, good evening! My pick for this Saturday was decided on a different manner. I’m in a rush here, and I did not took this album for a hearing the way I use to do. But you should agree it is not necessary. This album never had a CD reissue and it unknown to many friends. The little I heard was enough to understand this record is such like a friend’s meeting, very relaxed session. The duo brings to studio renowned friends, such like Maria Bethania, Maria Creuza, Sergio Endrigo and Cyro Monteiro, which is his last record session participation before his passing in the same year. Let’s see.

This is Toquinho & Vinicius de Moraes – Toquinho / Vinicius & Amigos (1974), for RGE, featuring Vinicius de Moraes compositions performed with special guests. It is easy to identify each performer at this cover artwork, except Chico Buarque, the one in the right, besides Sergio Endrigo. Find the list of performers below and have a nice Sunday. Christmas is very close and if you do not reach Loronix until there, take my Happy Christmas message with you. Tracks include:

Vinicius de Moraes & Amalia Rodrigues – Amalia / Vinicius | Vinicius / Amalia (1970)

Hello, good evening! This album brings a live recording featuring the Brazilian poetry, composer, singer and diplomat Vinicius de Moraes and the acclaimed Amalia Rodrigues, perhaps the most important Portuguese singer, known as “Rainha do Fado” the “Queen of Fado”, which is a Portuguese music genre. Vinicius de Moraes was friend of Amalia Rodrigues and according with back cover liner notes this album was recorded in 19th December 1968 at Amalia Rodrigues place, on a farewell meeting to Vinicius de Moraes, leaving Portugal at that time. Let’s see.

This is Vinicius de Moraes & Amalia Rodrigues – Amalia / Vinicius | Vinicius / Amalia (1970), for Decca, a live performance, recorded without the participants consent using hidden microphones. The session has the atmosphere of a friend’s meeting, featuring music and poetry, also including renowned Portuguese poetries, such like: David Mourão-Ferreira, Natália Correia, Carlos Ary dos Santos and Alain Oulman. This record was released two years after the performance in 1970, and I’m presenting here the first Portuguese issue in the original double LP format. I think we have today a great treat to Vinicius de Moraes fans and our friends from Portugal. Tracks include:

Maria Creuza – Poetico (1982) | Vinicius de Moraes Tribute

Publicado em: Thursday, July 10, 2008 by zecalouro

I believe that many friends will not understand why the back cover has the spotlight instead of the front cover with Maria Creuza photo. There is a special reason, Vinicius de Moraes, who left this planet on July 09, 2008, exactly 28 years ago. It has been twenty-eight years without Vinicius de Moraes. I remember the day of his passing as it was yesterday. Vinicius de Moraes lives through his work and should live for many decades; he is one of the most important Brazilian popular music artists. Let’s see.

This is Maria Creuza – Poetico (1982), for RCA, a tribute to Vinicius de Moraes, featuring only Vinicius de Moraes compositions, performed by Maria Creuza, a singer strongly influenced by Vinicius de Moraes, with several albums released with Vinicius, including the legendary live performances available on recording, such as “La Fusa”, recorded in Argentina. Let’s celebrate and remember Vinicius de Moraes. Tracks include:

It is amazing how maturity makes us take things from a different perspective. That’s the feeling I had when took this album again for a hearing, perhaps after more than a decade interval. My previous opinion was of a dated album, which got stuck in time through a style of interpretation and arrangements that was out of my preferences. However, since the day Jose Matos gave it to our community, I take it for a spin every day. Thank you again Jose Matos. Now it is time to show it to Loronixers. Let’s see.

This is Lenita Bruno e Orquestra – Musica: Antonio Carlos Jobim, Poesia: Vinicius de Moraes | Por Toda Minha Vida (1959), for Festa, featuring arrangements by Maestro Leo Peracchi, Lenita Bruno’s husband at that time and not credited at the album due contractual obligations with Odeon. It is really nice to hear very different renditions of well-known Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes music with the beautiful Lenita Bruno lyric singing with the reduced, but perfectly adequate arrangements by Maestro Leo Peracchi. Maestro Radames Gnattali plays piano at Canta, Canta Mais, which is the track selected to Loronix Preview Center. I made several attempts to clean the back cover with no success; it brings liner notes by Antonio Carlos Jobim. You will find a version with no image processing inside the music. If someone skilled on Photoshop can make it, I will really appreciate.

Tracks include:

01 – Por Toda Minha Vida (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
02 – Serenata do Adeus (Vinicius de Moraes)
03 – Estrada Branca (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
04 – Soneto da Separação (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
05 – Valsa de Orfeu (Vinicius de Moraes)
06 – Canção de Amor Demais (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
07 – As Praias Desertas (Tom Jobim)
08 – Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
09 – Canta Canta Mais (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
10 – Modinha (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
11 – Cai a Tarde (Tom Jobim)
12 – Sem Você (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
13 – Eu Não Existo Sem Você (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)

Hello, good evening! One of the benefits of all the hard work to rescue the missing links is to observe Loronix archives with a critical eye. I’m surprised with the things I find there. Anthological albums, which with the passage of time have been forgotten by me, will from now a new chance to appear on the first page. However, they will only have a chance if I can manage something new to add, such as improved cover scans or a new transfer to justify the upgrade and make it attractive for everybody. I hope the tapestry that I have been pushing up and updating is being useful to follow up the work in progress. Anyway, things are getting better all the time.

I want to show you one of those great archive surprises that I forgot along time, featuring an artist that has been in evidence this year with an amazing album made in partnership with a giant, Vinicius de Moraes. Let’s see.

This is Marilia Medalha – A Cancao e a Voz de Marilia Medalha na Poesia de Vinicius de Moraes (1972), for RGE, frequently taken by mistake as a Vinicius de Moraes career LP, while he only plays the role of producer and composer, delivering also vocals in English with Marilia Medalha on track 05 – Mr. Toquinho. The great surprise here is that you will not find Vinicius de Moraes standards, but unknown compositions written by Marilia Medalha in partnership with Vinicius, including also two instrumental tracks, 06 – Sagarana and 12 – Distante, by Marilia Medalha. I think you will have high quality entertainment with this really unusual LP featuring arrangements by Edu Lobo and Chiquinho de Moraes. Tracks include:

01 – Se o Amor Pudesse (Marília Medalha / Vinicius de Moraes)
02 – Moinho D’água (Marília Medalha / Joãozinho / Vinicius de Moraes)
03 – Canção Para o Grande Amor (Marília Medalha / Vinicius de Moraes)
04 – Meu Tempo (Marília Medalha / Vinicius de Moraes)
05 – Mr Toquinho (Marília Medalha / Vinicius de Moraes) with Vinicius de Moraes
06 – Sagarana (Marília Medalha)
07 – Ausência (Marília Medalha / Vinicius de Moraes)
08 – Algum Lugar (Marília Medalha / Vinicius de Moraes)
09 – Sem Razão de Ser (Marília Medalha / Vinicius de Moraes)
10 – Quem Ri Melhor (Marília Medalha / Vinicius de Moraes)
11 – Canção da Canção Que Nasceu (Marília Medalha / Vinicius de Moraes)
12 – Distante (Marília Medalha)
