Indeed, he&#8217;s put out three previous CDs of Bach alone, and \u00a0another with both Bach and Mozart pieces on them. With its &#8220;extra&#8221; strings, his instrument is able to bring out sonorities unavailable to conventional guitarists and it gives his arrangements an extraordinary richness and sonic depth: The famous &#8220;Prelude&#8221; from the <em>Bach Cello Suite in G<\/em> is just one example that benefits from these deep resonances. But the whole CD is a delight; how could it <em>not<\/em> be?

In his notes for the album, Assad notes that Nazareth was influenced both by rhythmic street choro bands and other native Brazilian performers, as well as classical musicians such as Chopin. You can hear strains of many different styles in this lively selection of tunes, from choros to tangos to waltzes, bits of ragtime, ballads; many pieces feature of mix of tempos (such as the exquisite title track). Teicholz&#8217;s sure and tremendously appealing interpretations of Assad&#8217;s arrangements truly show off Nazareth&#8217;s gifts as a composer to the fullest. Highly recommended!
