For those of you that love Brazilian music...


... try Morelenbaum/Sakamoto: Casa, on Sony. They're a trio; Paula Morelenbaum is the vocalist. She has absolutely the sweetest voice I've ever heard. Her husband Jaques Morelenbaum is a wonderful violinist, and Ryuichi Sakamoto is a very prominent pianist. Together, they make some of the most hypnotic music I've ever heard.

Dennisb:

Thanks for the thread about the Casa CD.

The album is extraordinary. I don't know what's better, the sonics, the performances, or the compositions. I played it about five times a week for the first six months I owned it.

The follow-up Day in New York is not as magical, but is a fine album (and it was recorded in DSD).

In summary, one of the top five redbook CD's I have heard.

PS - Since we're on the topic, Keith Richards' "Main Offender" CD from 1992 is about as good as rock CD's get for sonics.
