Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arranged by the legendary Nelson Riddle, this album wraps Ant么nio Carlos Jobim's foundational bossa nova compositions in sweeping, cinematic orchestral textures aimed at the American easy listening market. While smoothing out some of the genre's rhythmic edges, it powerfully underscores Jobim's genius as a composer of sophisticated, romantic melodies. It served as a major vehicle in popularizing Brazilian music globally.
