Reviews :
“Let me be clear here. Symphonic Bossa Nova isn’t your father’s classical orchestra album.
Ettore Stratta’s keen musical sense hones this group to a razor’s edge. First, on one hand, he’s enlisted London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. On the other, he’s selected a roster of amazing jazz and pop talent to set this album apart from any other.
Consider saxophonist Tom Scott, flutist Hubert Laws, and singer Al Jarreau. There’s percussionist/drummer Mike Shapiro and vibes master Gary Burton.
Secondly, add a handpicked cast of Brazilians. Invite trumpeter Claudio Roditi, guitarist Oscar Castro-Neves, and keyboardist Jorge Calandrelli. Add Dori Caymmi to one of the world’s finest orchestras and you have a potent world-class lineup.
With The Royal Philharmonic, Ettore Stratta’s keen musical sense has created an album of lasting beauty.
Each of the 12 titles is delicately crafted. We love the orchestrations on ‘One Note Samba’, ‘Wave’, ‘How Insensitive’ and Berimbau’. ‘Atras Da Porta’ (Close The Door) has its own soulful appeal.
Perhaps the most stirring is Calandrelli’s medley of ‘Brazil/Bahia‘. His arrangement and orchestration are breathtaking and emotional. This song has become a popular Brazilian Christmas favorite, too.
Above all, you’ll never forget Dori Caymmi’s ‘Like A Lover’ once you’ve heard Al Jarreau’s version on Symphonic Bossa Nova.
Young João Gilberto recorded the first Boosa Nova song in 1958. But, he had no idea that ‘Chega Da Saudade’ would influence generations worldwide.
But, more than four decades have passed. Bossa Nova, like some rare and beautiful perennial, keeps growing
Ettore Stratta and The Royal Philharmonic are the latest to discover this musical truth.
Conductor Stratta’s credits include recordings with Barbra Streisand, Placido Domingo, and Lena Horne. Moreover, Stratta also has three similar crossover albums. These include Symphonic Tango, Symphonic Boleros, and The Symphonic Andrew Lloyd Weber.
A Unique perspective, mirrored in Bossa Nova
But, why Bossa Nova? A fair question in a modern world where speed is measured in nanoseconds and our collective memory in megabytes.
The answer is, literally, as close as your ears. Symphonic Bossa Nova is a tonic for what we miss in life. The calming things we pass by or put off. Like stopping to smell, (or here’s a reality check) even notice the roses.
Antonio Carlos Jobim wrote the liner notes for this CD and he paints us a picture from his hillside home in Rio. “Beautiful sunny morning. After the rain and the unusually cold night came this unexpectedly sunny morning. A falcon sunbathes on the top of the garapa tree while I listen to this wonderful recording, hiding behind sunglasses. Deep inside the forest, a toucan calls.”
Now admit it.
Couldn’t you use more of that in your life? Ultimately, that’s another great truth, isn’t it? Simply put, this recording is musical magic." Connect Brazil Review
