Antonio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes – Brasília – Sinfonia Da Alvorada

Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue

Digitally remastered recordings from the Brazilian songwriter and musician and Bossa Nova legend. For the Sinfonia Alvorada, Tom Jobim is conducting the orchestra with the participation of Radames Gnattali (piano), Vinicius de Moraes (words, poetry), Elizeth Cardoso (voice) and Os Cariocas (voices).

Sinfonia da Alvorada is accompanied by another major Brazilian orchestral work, the Forest of the Amazon, by Heitor Villa-Lobos. Conducted by the composer in his last year, 1959, with the great Brazilian soprano Bidu Sayão, the piece displays the whole range of Villa-Lobos’s style, brilliantly evoking the sounds and colors of the jungle with musical representations of birdsong, animal cries and jungle drums.
