Quinteto da Paraíba - Música Armorial (1996) I first came across this when i went along to one of my Dad's friends for a listen to his Quad Electrostatics. He travels to Brazil regularly as he owns a holiday villa out there, and played this to us as an introduction to Brazilian Classical music. I was hooked instantly, particularly liking the last track, which reminds me of the sound of donkey's hooves clattering along the road. Spotify:

For me, Toada E Dobrado da Cavalhada is by far the standout track, but I really like the rest of the album too.

Totally new to me. I'm looking forward to listening to it, Paul.

I've already found a Clovis Pereira Cello concerto to track down.  |

Good place to find out information on new artists, Paul. I use it a lot.

Just finished playing it and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Parts of it could have been Aaron Copland's South American cousin and all of it was a delight to listen to. Almost but not quite a 5, I'll have to give it a 4.

Ooh I recognise some of this, must have been used as incidental music somewhere. Sounds lovely, will rate it later.

I had only been able to listen to it on Spotify before, so glad to get it. The last time I looked out for it, it was a minimum of £30, probably because it had to be imported. |

That's an easy 4 from me.
As a whole it sounds very fresh and vibrant to my ears. The performance has a great zest and energy about it.
Would have been a good inclusion in the BBC's String Quarterts programme!
I think it dips a little around the middle of the recording but still very enjoyable from start to finish.
Track 3 would have to be my particular favourite.
Thanks for sharing PaulD.

Did you hear what I meant about the donkey's hooves on the last track? |
