Maria Joao Pires plays fado with ‘Frank Sinatra’
mainHere’s a little known track of the great classical pianist accompanying the fado singer known as Portugal’s Frank Sinatra.
Portugal has declared a day of national moruning for Carlos do Carmo, who died this weekend.
The recording was released in 2012.
Beautiful song
Beautiful voice, and they are beautiful making music together.
They are beautiful together, and his dignified delivery of the
song is moving. Thank you for posting this…and thank you for all of the posts that have been such a solace this past year, NL.
Pires, notoriously famous for being confronted with the “wrong” Mozart Concerto . In shock and in the space of the very short exposition she gathered herself together and did a fine job of an unprepared work.
And a lifelong collaboration with the great French violinist, Augustin Dumay
Maria Pires is world class in every way. God Bless her and we are so lucky to have her in our lives.
