Music reviews of Music of Brazil / Shangri-La

Music Review: "Brazil & Shangri-La is the best of the best ~ Percy Faith"
Rating: 5 Stars

The two albums from the '60s that left such an impression on me are the two inclusive "Music of Brazil!" and "Shangri-La!", both favorites within my vast collection of Mr. Faith's career. Each and every tune is take with tender loving care in arrangements, performance and most of all the love of the project. Take for instance the fact that this Canadian loved Latin Music and it showed. Much like the ultimate Latin album "Malaguena:Music of Cuba", originally released in 1969, the excitement and color from Faith's awesome arrangements is long famous in orchestration and arranging Cuba and Latin-American melodies. For the listener it is enormously invigorating and rewarding, each cue is able to soar into infinity. There isn't another composer/arranger/musician that I know of that had this talent in all three categories.

Many highlights ~ "BRAZIL", "TU SABES", "BAIA", "LITTLE DREAMER" and of course the one that started it all "DELICADO", remember when this was released and made the charts, with the harpsichord resounding.

The opening track "SHANGRI-LA", is perfection within the realm of lush-arranging, so flawless ~ "STRANGER IN PARADISE", another example of the "Faith Touch", so effortless, you feel like you're floating on a cloud ~ "SONG OF INDIA", always a favorite of mine, as you travel the strings keep drawing you nearer and nearer, beautiful adaptation by Mr. Faith ~ "THE MOON OF MANAKOORA", can almost hear the ocean waves upon the beach, with the moon romantically peeking behind the clouds in the nights sky.
Highly recommend to ALL fans of Percy Faith, thank you Collectables for releasing this collection from the vaults of Columbia Records ~ so listeners sit back, enjoy and enjoy a small part of Maestro Percy Faith fabulous career!
