Album Notes & Community Reviews

Conceived as a sweeping retrospective of his own foundational bossa nova compositions, 'Terra Brasilis' pairs Antônio Carlos Jobim with the lush, cinematic orchestrations of arranger Claus Ogerman. The double album features both English and Portuguese vocal performances alongside pristine instrumental renditions. It stands as a majestic, late-career refinement of the genre Jobim helped invent.
