Egberto Gismonti (piano, sintetizadores)

Nando Carneiro (sintetizadores).

Reedición europea (Alemania), de 1996, del disco lanzado originalmente en Brasil en 1986 por el sello EMI (con una portada diferente, la de la segunda foto). No contiene el tema "Infância", pero incluye 5 temas extra grabados en el Teatro SESC, en la ciudad de São Paulo, en 1993.

En su 23º álbum, el gran compositor y multiinstrumentista Egberto Amin Gismonti (Carmo, RJ, 1947) hace nuevas versiones de algunas de sus composiciones más conocidas. Prácticamnte, se trata de un formto de piano solo, con levísimas añadidos de sintetizadores en algunos pasajes. Además, en esta reedición se realizaron nuevas mezclas que eliminaron otros dos instrumentos (un bombardino, en "Karatê" y un cello, en "Cigana"), que se escuchaban -la verdad que casi imperceptibles- en la edición original.

"Alma is Egberto Gismonti at his purest. Using the piano as his primary canvas (there are, in the background, ever-so-subtle hints of synthesizer played by him and Nando Carneiro throughout), he distills his most beloved compositions in a program of tender introspection. The album’s title means “Soul,” and is indeed what this odyssey through the Brazilian composer’s labyrinthine terrain represents.
Beginning with the forest-dense ecosystem of “Baião Malandro” (Trickster Baiao) and ending with the virtuosic costume changes of “7 Anéis” (7 Rings), this curation of performances serves as a primer for the Gismontian experience. Twisting and turning like a skilled dancer, he treats his fingers as legs with feet and runs across the keyboard as living soil. In addition to such classics as “Karatê” (the present interpretation of which takes on an even more self-disciplined quality than it did when first recorded on Circense) and “Frevo” (a vigorous example of his penchant for rhythm and color), he defines suppler developments in “Cigana” (Gypsy Woman), “Fala da Peixão” (Passion Talk), and the powerful “Realejo” (Hurdy-Gurdy).
One of his many gifts, that of illustration, is on full display in the evocatively titled “Palhaço” (Clown), which taps a memory so persistent it bleeds into the present; “Loro” (Parrot), which embodies its subject in a dance of unconditional joy; and “Sanfona” (Accordion), which sounds indeed like a bellowed instrument.
To my ears, the effervescence of “Maracatú” stands out in the collection. Balancing shadow and sparkle, and integrating synthesizers to seamless effect, it wanes into a field recording of the forest: an ode to the natural world. As is “Ruth.” First heard from his mother’s lips on Amazonia, it now opens its heart like a book yet to be inscribed. Like everything surrounding it, the melody is more than a skeleton, but part of the circulatory system of a cosmic body through which the listener can wander without the slightest fear of arterial blockage."
