Passport - Back to Brazil - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Mobile Ethnic Minority - Love And Car Radio [VINYL LP] date 08/11/2023

Claudio Celso was born in Brazil and plays electric and acoustic guitar since the age of four. He studied classical guitar and then learned bossa nova and jazz with Paulinho Nogueira and also with his father - one of the first electric guitar players in Brazil. Later on, he studied composition and arranging in New York with Don Sebesky. InchBrazilian JazzInch is the acclaimed guitarist's first solo effort. All selections newly remastered.

Recorded live in Tokyo on 20 May 2009 with the NHK Symphony Orchestra conducted by Tadaaki Otaka, this concert provides a new opportunity to take the full measure of the poetry deployed by Nelson Goerner. This poetic approach has come to be seen as the pianist's trademark in his recordings of Chopin or Debussy. Yet his interpretation also shows unfailing virtuosity, with a precision and power that place him among the most eminent pianists of our time. This recording is one that Nelson Goerner was particularly keen to make, for he views Brahms's Second Concerto as an immense masterpiece. Premiered in Budapest in 1881 with Brahms himself at the piano, the work enjoyed immediate success with critics and public alike. Now, more than 200 years later, the piece is receiving new life.
