Title: More Noel Rosa than you ever imagined
Product review: If you really, really, really love Noel Rosa - and you should, because he's Noel Coward, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, and a few others all wrapped up in one small tubercular 28 year old guy who lived briefly and brilliantly in Rio café and samba society in the 30s - then you need this collection. All of his songs are here, and many of them are worth hearing in the original recordings. But - and here's the problem - it's a lot of money for some recordings from the 30s. If you're just coming to Noel Rosa, try the Lumiere songbook which gives a great intro to his work.However, if you really, really love Noel Rosa, then you gotta own this one. All kinds of music you never heard before - and the lyrics are consistently funny, sad, romantic, witty; the music is consistently fine. Sometime, someone outside Brasil will find out about Noel Rosa.
