"This CD contains the last solo recordings of an extraordinary musical artist who died just as he was poised to reach an international audience. Guitarist and composer Raphael Rabello revived and extended violao Brasileiro the Brazilian guitar style th". GSP Rec. Burnside.2005.
Every recording by Raphael is here for us to savor and study. The solo guitar on this cd is deep and the work of a master. RR transcends styles. Choro dominates here - wonder if the title is a literal translation of the Português as choro is “cry”.RR’s technique is monstrous. Elements of classical, Brazilian folk, flamenco, Rio Grande Sul, bossa, samba come to the fore, recede and return. R is always grounded in the piece and setting but he was an improviser at his core - able to go where his mind, soul and heart leads. He takes us with him on these explorations. We can marvel at his interpretations which are so much more than technique - logical, musical, soulful and most importantly, beautiful.Paço de Lúcia’s quote is most accurate...”he overcomes the technical limitations of the instrument-music flows directly from his heart and soul to us who admire him”More: video of La Catedral/Recuedos de Alhambra is mesmerizing, beautiful. No dry eyes.
