A true national treasure of Brazilian music, composer, guitarist, and pianist Egberto Gismonti delivers a masterpiece with this 1985 album, dedicated to the works of fellow Brazilian musical giant Heitor Villa-Lobos. Blending dreamy, spacey electronic sounds created with synthesizers and drum machines with the exquisite contrast of acoustic instruments like strings and piano, the album showcases a level of artistry that only Gismonti could achieve. No matter where you drop the needle, a flood of colorful sounds overflowing with love and peace pours out. An absolutely stunning record—very highly recommended.
