Synopsis

Album Description
This previously unavailable double CD comes from one of the giants of Brazilian Music, Milton Nascimento. Featuring highly sought after versions of his classic compositions, â??Maria Mariaâ?? and â??Ultimo Tremâ?? are the soundtracks to the ballets of the same name that Milton scored the music for in 1976 and 1981 respectively. Never before available together, the music on these CDs is raw, atmospheric and emotionally charged - revealing a songwriter at his creative peak. This double CD documents the emergence of the superstar musician who shunned the US jazz and rock sounds his contemporaries were into, instead choosing to delve deep into the heart of Brazil and his region Minas Gerais. The CD features a whoâ??s who of Brazilian artists from the 70s inc. legendary Brazilian vocalists Fafá de Belém and Nana Caymmi and Paulo Jobim. These CDs are bursting with ideas, influences and heady experimentation, showing an artist pushing himself to his limit and creating the styles that would make him a legend throughout Brazil.

CD Reviews

Earned a spot in my carrosel...
Phil Cava | San Jose, CA USA | 09/07/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is the soundtrack from two Brazillian ballets: Maria, Maria & Ultimo Trem.



The first, Maria Maria has only a few good tunes, with many being from the ill fated electronic-music-over-Milton Dos Pillarges (sp?) album. Yuch, end of review.



The second, Ultimo Trem is pure unadulterated Milton joy. This CD has earned a permanent spot in my player's turn table. If you love the classic Milton (of Cube Da Esquina, Milton & Journey to Dawn) you will LOVE Ultimo Trem!"
