Baden Powell est le maître de la guitare bresilienne et sans doute le plus grand guitariste sud-americain du XXe siecle. Enregistre au Festival international de guitare de Liege en 1987, ce recital solo nous emmene au-dela des limites de la bossa nova, entre jazz, classique et musique populaire bresilienne. Une prouesse artistique rare et intense entre fievre et quietude. Fremeaux & Associes, editeur des 2 precedents disques du maître, s'associe avec Guy Lukowski, la ville de Liege et Baden Powell Producões Artisticas pour mettre a disposition cet enregistrement magistral. Le guitariste mais aussi le chanteur, au sommet de son art, nous subjugue par sa virtuosite etincelante.

A master of the Brazilian guitar, not to mention the greatest guitarist of the 20th century in the whole of South America... This solo recital by Baden Powell was recorded in Belgium at the 1987 International Guitar Festival that took place in Liege, where Powell took his listeners beyond the frontiers of bossa nova and into the realms of jazz, classical music and the best of MPB, the name of popular music in Brazil. The result is nothing less than a rare artistic accomplishment that combines feverishness music with tranquillity. Fremeaux & Associes, who published the master's previous two albums, have joined forces with Guy Lukowski, the city of Liege and producers Baden Powell Producões Artisticas to make this extraordinary recording available to all. At the peak of his artistry, the guitarist shows a sparkling virtuosity that is totally subjugating.
