Egberto Gismonti/Switzerland 2024 Complete

Gismonti, a great musician who is called a Brazilian treasure for his unique music that freely combines the colorful rhythms of Brazilian culture, the neat and modern harmony, and the free imagination of jazz, and Daniel Murray, a treasure of the Brazilian classical music world who released a collection of Gismonti’s works produced by Gismonti, have released a blissful live album that captures a miraculous feast on a superb high-quality soundboard! Gismonti, a Brazilian treasure, recently turned 78 years old. This work was recorded just before that, on November 17, 2024, at the RSI Auditorium in Lugano, Switzerland, with Daniel Murray, a genius guitarist recognized by Gismonti and considered to be Gismonti’s successor, as a guitar duo, Gismonti’s piano and Murray’s guitar, and more than 70 minutes of encores, including 12 songs, carefully mastered by the label, and recorded on the highest quality sound board! ! I still remember the shock of hearing Gismonti’s solo guitar for the first time, yes, the miracle of transcendent technique that makes it seem like multiple people are playing. The scene where Gismonti and Murray exchange improvisations is amazing, surpassing even the duo with John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia! Furthermore, Gismonti’s virtuoso piano and Murray’s guitar, Gismonti’s guitar and piano solos make for a truly amazing performance that is not an exaggeration to say is the culmination of Gismonti’s work. They effortlessly play complex and difficult pieces with a perfect ensemble that is clear to the ears, and they also weave and develop superb solo improvisations with piano and a multi-string guitar that they developed themselves, utilizing an astonishing technique that is rarely found in genres other than classical music, using the right and left hands simultaneously while drawing out completely different tones from each hand, giving you goosebumps from start to finish… Don’t miss this miraculous encounter between 77-year-old Gismonti and 43-year-old Murray, who show no signs of aging at all! How many musicians, or rather musicians, are there in the world who are as amazing as these? This is the perfect live performance to get to know Gismonti’s diverse talents as a composer who creates magnificent music that transcends the boundaries of Brazilian popular music, classical music, contemporary music, jazz, and progressive rock, and as a guitarist/pianist with outstanding technique and expressiveness who captivates people from all over the world from various perspectives! auditorio rsi, lugano, switzerland 17.11.2024 egberto gismonti – g, p daniel murray – g 01.alegrinho – saudações 02. mestiço & caboclo – águas luminosas 03. bianca 04. frevo 05. miudinho (villa-lobos) 06. retorato em branko e preto (jobin) 07. carinhoso (pixinguinha) 08. baião malandro 09. maracatu 10. água e vinho 11. lundu (azul) encore: 12.dança dos escravos
