V.A.: A Brasilian Christmas.

ALBUM RELEASE
This collection of Christmas songs from Brazil and the world is as colorful as its cover artwork by Sarajo Frieden. Produced by Miles Goodman and Oscar Castro-Neves, A Brasilian Christmas is like a who's-who in Brazilian music. Joyce, Dori Caymmi, Ivan Lins, Leo Gandelman, Gilson Peranzzetta, Oscar Castro-Neves, Ricardo Silveira, Toninho Horta and João Bosco all add their talents to what is a classic Brazilian recording. Each song in this release receives a special treatment from its performer transforming the melody in something uniquely Brazilian. Whether with the instrumental pieces, such as "Air on Six Strings," or even with the English vocals,
special care was taken to present a Brazilian flavor for every song. Song after song, A Brasilian Christmas will amaze you.

-----------
MINHA OPINIÃO - este é mais um álbum de Xmas Songs gravado por artistas brasileiros, para uso externo. Produzido por Oscar Castro Neves, o álbum é um "who´s who", tanto no quesito artistas quanto na seleção de canções. Muito bom, apesar do erro crasso no título: "brasilian" , com "S", deve ter feito Shakespeare revirar na tumba...

(*) A capa lembra muito as dos álbuns "Brazil Project" de Toots Thielemans, também produzido pelo Oscar e gravados com esses mesmos artistas brasileiros. O capista, portanto, deve ser o mesmo.
