Soundcheck
Rio, Revisited
Tuesday, August 27, 2002
Actor and former techno-pop band leader Ryuichi Sakamoto is best known as the Academy Award-winning composer of the score for The Last Emperor. On Tuesday’s program, he’ll provide a sneak preview of his latest album, a new collection of works by Brazilian bossa nova master Antonio Carlos Jobim. Joining him will be cellist Jaques Morelenbaum and his wife, vocalist Paula Morelenbaum, both collaborators of Jobim’s until the bossa nova artist’s death in 1994. Plus, Soundcheck contributor Anastasia Tsioulcas offers up her choice for top concert pick of the week.
Casa isn’t the first time that Morelenbaum2 (cellist Jaques and singer Paula) have explored Antonio Carlos Jobim’s work. The Morelenbaums and their grandson Daniel, plus Jobim’s son Paulo, had already been performing with the bossa nova legend across the globe for almost a decade.
