About

This double album draws together for the first time all the published 78-rpm recordings made by Brazilian Guiomar Novaes. She is better known today for her later recordings from the LP era, but these early miniatures, recorded between 1919 and 1947, have been claimed to give a better idea of Novaes' considerable pianistic worth.

    Re-issue of the Month

January 2015

a musical personality of a beguiling charm, a quality rarely encountered in today's more severe musical climate...You are reminded, too, of a naturalness and insouciance far removed from so many of today's recordings, where over-editing can such the very lifeblood out of a performance...Playing then of another age and time, a sheer magic beautifully presented and with outstanding transfers.
