Orquestra Moderna de Camara has been posted somewhere on the net before, as I remember seeing this cover, but can not remember when and where.
Anyway, as far as I know, this is their only album and they have also released a compacto duplo.
Their premiere on Parallel Realities is, as you could guess, accompanied with no fact or relevant information at all.
The linear notes by Sebastião Fonseca, explain a lot about Bossa Nova and inform us that Luiz Bonfá, Tom and Vinicius, Dolores Duran and others, are principle Bossa artists, but (probably because of my poor understanding of Portuguese) I found nothing about the Orquestra Moderna de Camara.
On the other hand, ten medleys speak more than ten thousand Dollars:

MORE ABOUT ORQUESTRA MODERNA DE CAMARA by Fausto Neves:
This disc is the only one of this orchestra, which in fact is not a “modern camera orchestra”
The truth is that it is a group of "bossa nova" music, with the addition of string instruments.
And with very good Brazilian musicians.
The linear notes by Sebastião Fonseca does not explain much and there is
much more text on the technical quality of the recording
Artistic direction - Radames Gnattali
Radames Gnattali - piano
José Menezes - guitar;
Chiquinho - accordion;
Pedro Vidal Ramos - bass;
Luciano Perrone - percussion;
Irani Pinto - 1st violin;
Copinha - flute and piccolo;
Marcello Pompeu Filho - 2nd violin;
Iberê Gomes Grosso - cello.;
The incredible thing is that neither on the Radamés Gnattali site nor on Ricardo Cravo Albin Dictionary of Brazilian Popular Music, this record does not appear as a work of Radamés Gnattali.
Listening to it, there is no doubt that this is another magnificent work of that master.
Really nice Bossa and new to me--thanks Milan
ReplyDeleteyes this LP certainly has the ''Perfume de Radamés'' as Brasilian composer Guinga would say.
ReplyDeleteFausto, where does your informations come from? On the back cover of the spanish edition (Nilser NLP 729) the name of the Orchestra is Paulo Alencar y su orquestra
ReplyDeleteFrank, Fausto answered your question, but on parallelrealitiesstudio.wordpress.com
