Author: Ivan March
Several of these items have been featured in films, and that will indicate the kind of ripely evocative atmosphere of much of the writing, certainly always felicitiously arranged for the woodwind group, and usually with a not-too- insistent underlying rhythm section. The overall programme is quite seductive in its way, and Barenboim indulges himself in a very free presentation, not least in the languorous closing Bahia. The musicians gathered here are expert, the recording is excellent, and if you respond to this kind of Brazilian wallpaper music, this collection is very good of its kind, even if it’s not a CD I personally would add to my collection.'
