Gha, 2005

Amazingly good
I've been a longtime fan of the Assads, but was surprised by my own reaction to this CD. It's really, amazingly good. Track two (Baião de Gude, by Bellanati) is a guitar trio of Sergio, Odair, and Badi, and it is performed with such artistry and enthusiasm that, in my ...

Sérgio & Odair Assad Play Piazzolla

Astor Piazzolla, Odair Assad, ...

Nonesuch, 2001

Vintage Guitar Magazine Review
At their best, Brazilian brothers and guitar duo Sérgio and Odair Assad play as if they were one person---one person blessed with four arms. With their six previous albums for Nonesuch, they have won renown around the globe for their lush, multi-faceted sound, rich in ...

Obrigado Brazil Live in Concert

Nilson Matta, Yo-Yo Ma, ...

Sony, 2004

a classical-Latin music blend
Yo Yo Ma and his fellow musicians make beautiful music in this mellow adaptation of melodies that have their origin in Latin America. The opening track is a version of "Libertango", heard in the fabulous soundtrack of the film "The Tango Lesson", and one of the three ...

Jardim abandonado

Clarice Assad, Sergio Assad, ...

Nonesuch, 2007

Du jamais entendu : 6 étoiles !!!
Après le disque "baroque" et le disque "piazzolla", les Frères Assad ont encore frappé un grand coup dans l'univers de la musique pour guitare,... et de la musique tout court ! Il est peu probable que Debussy ou Gershwin aient pu imaginer un jour leur musique ...

Sergio & Odair Assad Play Rameau, Scarlatti, Couperin, Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach, Francois Couperin, ...

Nonesuch, 1993

Fabulous recording by gifted musicians
Let me start by saying that I am not a musician or even a particularly well-trained listener, but I do have a sizable collection of baroque music and guitar music in general. I know what I like, and I absolutely love this recording. The music is beautiful, just ...

Soul of the Tango: The Music of Astor Piazzolla

Edwin Barker, Hector Console, ...

Sony, 1997

A Must...
If you love Astor Piazzolla's music, this is one of the best disc ever... Yo-Yo MA's Cello get a new level with this masterpieces, Mumuki is my personal favorite... Also recommended Astor Piazzolla In Portrait (DVD).

LAGQ's Guitar Heroes

Sergio Assad, Chet / Bryant, Boudleaux Atkins, ...

Telarc, 2004

Totally satisfying
I can't think of any recent collection of music that I enjoyed more than this album by the LAGQ. "Guitar Heroes" is amazing right from the beginning and never ceases right through the last track. The performances are solid, always musical and often mesmerizing. The ...

White Moon: Songs to Morpheus

David Starobin, Dorothy Lawson, ...

Nonesuch, 1996

The right selections for the right voice
The theme of this music is Sleep and Dreams. The 'night setting' is reflected in a very interesting variety of songs, both old and modern. The ethereal quality of much of this music is well suited to Upshaw's silver toned voice, which expresses the fantasy and other ...

The Essential Yo-Yo Ma

Edgar Meyer, Hector Console, ...

Sony, 2005

pure genius
No instrument asks more from the soul of an artist as the cello does. Yo Yo Ma shows to be master of the instrument and his interpretations en technique are pure genius. Everyone should have this album in his (or hers of course) basic classical collection

Obrigado Brazil

Yo-Yo Ma

Sony, 2003

Obrigado Brazil
The tempos and sensuality of Brazilian music meshed with the artistry and joyous soul of Yo Yo Ma: a recipe for pleasure. I first listened to this on my car CD player and found myself wanting to pull over and get out and dance. The depth of Ma's cello adds just the ...

Alma Brasileira

Sergio Assad, Egberto Gismonti, ...

Nonesuch, 1991

The best guitar duo in the world plays Lobos & Marlos Nobre
Sergio & Odair Assad made the world most famous guitar duo. They play in such a incredible virtuosistic and musical way, that you can hear them like a gigantic guitar, listining as a 12 strings guitar, never like two different instruments.I listen this beautiful CD ...

Los Angeles Guitar Quartet (LAGQ) Air & Ground

Sergio Assad, Paulo Bellinati, ...

Sony, 2000

My favorite LAGQ album
It pains me to see the negative reviews for this album. I am a classical guitarist and life long musician, so my opinion of this album is not one of the casual listener. This CD is GREAT. No questions asked. The arrangements are super tight and creative. Just about ...
