Dilermando Reis - guitar

Consisting of 11 solo guitar arrangements of pieces by the celebrated Brazilian composer, Pixinguinha, this is the long-awaited new release from Roland Dyens - his first since Night and Day in 2003.

On May 13, 1888, (25 years after slavery was abolished in the United States), while the Brazilian King was away, Princess Isabel signed the 'Golden Law' which freed all slaves in Brazil without compensation to their owners. Ten years later a black Brazilian born Alfredo da Rocha Vianna, Jr. was destined to experience discrimination in both his private and professional life. His grandmother called him 'Pinzindim' which is said to mean, 'Good little boy.' This evolved into 'Pixinguinha' (pronounced, 'Pish-in-GUI-nia').

It is hard to overstate the importance of Pixinguinha's impact on modern music. A genius of samba and a musician's musician, he dedicated himself to choro and never compromised his standards of excellence. He was a composer, arranger, virtuoso instrumentalist, band leader and teacher; Pixinguinha was Brazilian music. Primarily known as a virtuoso flautist, Pixinguinha in fact recorded more on saxophone than on flute. He opted for the tenor sax in the early 1920s when they began playing in larger venues and he realized that his band, the 'Oito Batutas' (Great Eight), needed a bigger sound.

Pixinguinha became the musical ambassador for Brazil. When the King and Queen of Belgium visited Brazil in 1920, the Oito Batutas played for them. Pixinguinha went on to delight the European aristocracy when the group toured there in 1922. In 1940 the renowned conductor Leopold Stokowski asked Heitor Villa-Lobos to select a few musicians for a series of recordings that would present the best of Brazilian Popular Music. Among the first musicians Villa-Lobos contracted was a musician with sparkling original melodies - Pixinguinha.

In July, 1972 he lost his beloved wife, Albertina. On February 17th, 1973, while attending the church baptism of his grandson in Ipanema, Pixinguinha died. The next day newspapers ran this headline, 'THE HEAVENS CRY!' His funeral was attended by thousands who spontaneously began singing his famous composition Carinhoso. Pixinguinha has been called 'The Cole Porter of Brazil' and he is recognized as 'The Father of the Choro.' He is an icon of Brazilian music and his music is enthusiastically played today by all musicians in South America.

When asked about the influence of Pixinguinha, he replied, 'He's a genius: a blessing and an inspiration for my life.' - Antonio Carlos Jobim

'If I had to write the whole History of Popular Brazilian Music in 15 volumes, it wouldn't be enough at all, no question. But if I only had to write one and only word, then I would only select that one: Pixinguinha.' - the Brazilian musician and historian, Ary Vasconcelos

'The choro is definitely the most developed and sophisticated genre of all Popular Brazilian Music. There are millions of choros existing but the very best are definitely by Pixinguinha.' ---the Brazilian composer, Radames Gnattali

Dilermando Reis - violão

Dilermando Reis was an important figure of the Brazilian violão (acoustic guitar) from the '30s until the '70s. As a soloist, he had a romantic quality and chose his repertoire accordingly, in the best tradition of Brazilian seresta. As a composer, he left some important jewels, like the choro "Magoado." In this compilation, a few of his biggest hits are present, like "Sons de Carrilhões." Dilermando was not a virtuosic violonista such as the Abreu and Assad brothers, Rafael Rabello, and so many other Brazilians, but is an important figure in Brazilian music. ---Alvaro Neder, AllMusic Review

Dilermando Reis is an icon of the Brazilian violão. His anachronistic style of playing and composing -- fully romantic, plangent -- is still regarded sentimentally by many today. In his vast discography (he recorded until two years before his death at 61), his love for the past was responsible for the rediscovery of the great composer João Pernambuco. With a gap of several decades since Pernambuco's death, the awarded classical guitarist Turíbio Santos began to register Pernambuco's works.

Reis remained an accomplished violonista, and his compositions are still performed today in the traditional rodas de choro and being recorded. As a professor, Reis counted among his disciples the president Juscelino Kubitschek and the violonistas Bola Sete and Darci Vilaverde. Reis was the son of a violonista (acoustic guitar player), Francisco Reis, who was also his first teacher. At 17, Reis attended a recital in his city of Guaratinguetá by the violonista Levino da Conceição. Excited by the dexterity of the blind musician, Reis became his accompanist throughout the tour of upcountry Brazil. After a while he moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he became a violão teacher in the prestigious traditional music stores of those times (which still exist to this day), Bandolim de Ouro and Guitarra de Prata. In 1935, he opened on Radio Clube do Brasil, presented by Renato Murce. Soon his mastery at the accompaniment of the great singers of those times was widely acknowledged, and he became active in other radios, including the most prestigious Rádio Nacional, where he worked until 1969. On August 18, 1936, Elizeth Cardoso began her professional career in the show Programa Suburbano (Rádio Guanabara), which was held by performers like Reis himself, Vicente Celestino, Noel Rosa, Aracy de Almeida, and others. Reis's first 78 came out in 1941, with his waltz "Noite de Lua" and his choro "Magoado." In the period between 1941 and 1942 he joined an orchestra of violões which enlivened sophisticated evenings at the Cassino da Urca, performing also in the Rádio Clube do Brasil. In 1953, he toured the U.S., recording for CBS. His waltz "Abismo de Rosas," still popular to this day in some circles, was one of the most expressive recordings for Continental (Brazil) during the fertile period between 1950 and 1960. In 1972 he recorded the LP Dilermando Reis Interpreta Pixinguinha and in 1975, released O Violão Brasileiro de Dilermando Reis, both for Continental. --- Alvaro Neder, Rovi

Dilermando reis, natural de Guaratinguetá, São Paulo, trabalhava no mesmo gênero de Garoto (talvez não com o mesmo gênio inovador, mas com o mérito de popularizar o violão no país, inclusive nas mais altas camadas da sociedade). Iniciou seus estudos com o pai, o violonista Chico Reis. Aos quinze anos conhece o exímio concertista cego Levino da Conceição com quem, formando dupla, viaja por todo o país.

O repertório para violão nessa época era reduzido, uma vez que o público preferia cantores e canções vocais. Mesmo assim Dilermando conseguiu impor-se. Dilermando tocava violão popular instrumental e lutou muito para elevá-lo à condição de solista. Consagrado como intérprete, como compositor, e como um dos maiores violonistas de todos os tempos, a crítica assinalava em Dilermando Reis… a fina sensibilidade interpretativa, chamando atenção para o som cheio e bem timbrado de seu violão que nunca se confundiu com nenhum outro.(1987, Jornal Valeparaibano) Gravou seu primeiro disco em 1941, pela Columbia, incluindo no repertório a valsa “Noite da Lua” e o choro “Magoado”, ambas de sua autoria. Em 1953 excursionou pelos Estados Unidos, apresentando-se na CBS de Nova York. Nos anos 50 e 60 gravou vários discos pela Continental (como solista e com diversas composições próprias), e editou músicas para o violão.

Quando morreu, um jornal local publicou que Guaratinguetá e todo o Brasil perderam um dos maiores expoentes da arte musical violonística (embora ele tivesse nos seus últimos anos de vida permanecido no Rio de Janeiro, onde viveu a apoteose de ver seus sonhos realizados, e onde veio a falecer, aos 61 anos, vítima de um colapso cardíaco). Dilermando foi sepultado em sua terra natal. Deixou 10 discos em 78 rpm, vinte LPs e um álbum de sete volumes “Uma Voz e um Violão em Serenata”, com o cantor Francisco Petrônio. Dentre os alunos que continuaram a sua escola levantamos o nome de Bola Sete e Darci Villaverde. O então presidente Juscelino Kubitscheck, de quem ele era amigo pessoal, desfrutou das aulas deste mestre, e foi em razão dessa amizade que Dilermando compôs a primeira música em homenagem à nova capital do país, Brasília, fato do qual muito se orgulhava. ---last.fm
