天才音楽家ジスモンチ。彼自らがセレクトしたベスト盤だ。彼の音楽には母国ブラジルの様々な伝統音楽、ジャズ、クラシック、現代音楽等のエッセンスが混じり合っているが、その音楽の広大なスケールは、彼の音楽の背景にあるものの奥深さに支えられていることを本作で納得。★
Album Description
24 Bit Digitally Remastered Japanese Limited Edition in an LP-STYLE Slipcase. Stuart Nicholson Wrote in the BBC Music Magazine of the "Rarum" Series: "... Selected by the Artists Themselves, this Series is of Enormous Importance in Revealing the Breadth of Each Artist痴 Work, as Much for the Converted as the Unconverted Looking for a Window Into the Remarkable Ecm Catalogue". The Complexity of Brazil, Its Interweaving of Cultures, Finds Its Echo in the Music of Egberto Gismonti who Draws on Resources Both "sophisticated" and "primitive"- from European Classical Music to the Samba School to the Music of the Xingu Indians and the Sounds of the Rainforest, from Folk Musics, from Jazz. Highly Trained as a Pianist, Gismonti Adapted Pianistic Technique in Innovative Manner on his Customised 8- and 10- and 14-string Guitars. It is his Guitar Artistry which is at the Forefront of his :rarum Collection.
