Album Notes & Community Reviews

Divided distinctly into two halves, this majestic offering showcases the Brazilian master's dual prowess as a popular songwriter and a serious orchestral composer. The first side presents lush, sophisticated vocal bossa nova tracks, while the second delves entirely into instrumental, modern classical compositions arranged by Claus Ogerman. The title, translating to 'Vulture', reflects a deep, introspective meditation on nature and mortality.
