Ever since I purchased this disk it is my absolute favourite recording of my SACD collection. The line up may be not very spectacular, because it just consists of singer Pauline van Schaik, accompanied by bass player Hein van de Geyn, occasionally completed by trumpet player Bert Joris. The recording is crystal clear and intimate, as if the musicians are actually playing in front of you; the singer in the middle, bass on the left and trumpet on the right, but the division of the 5.1 channels really makes it all feel atmospheric and natural. And of course the performance in the first place is just exceptional. In particular I love the song “Retrato Em Branco E Preto”, which starts off with the bass and the singer in a duet… and then there this magical moment when Bert Joris joins with a shiveringly beautiful solo. I can only recommend you to try it out using a streaming service, and then look for the SACD for the full experience. You will not regret!
