Mark Weinstein’s “O Nosso Amor” a Masterpiece!

Flute virtuoso, Maestro Mark Weinstein. A world-class musician. A phenomenon!

Nowadays, few flutists and musicians can match the amazing creative talent of Mark Weinstein. This man is a musical phenomenon. Mesmerizing, authoritative yet, charmingly and tenderly captivating. His recent CD “O Nosso Amor” as expected to be or to appear is no less than a monumental musical accomplishment. It is a masterpiece at so many levels. A pure musical magic. The album contains 12 tracks of an exquisite beauty, delivered with luxurious musical wealth, superb arrangements and utmost musical nostalgia. The highlights of the CD are: Bahia, O Nosso Amor and Sampa 67. The amazing aspect of this CD is not exclusively the authentic delivery of pure Jazzy-Brazilian repertoire, but the unmatched improvisation and musical virtuosity of Mark Weinstein on flute, Nilson Matta on bass, Romero Lubambo on guitar.

The beauty of the music on the CD metamorphosed through delightful strokes and vibes by Paulo Braga on drums, Guilherme Franco on percussion, and Jorge Silva, also on percussion. “Bahia” one of my favorite tunes of the CD is an all time international favorite of world music lovers. It has been recorded by leading performers like Placido Domingo, the legendary John Coltrane and Carmen Miranda. But Mark Weinstein’s recording is quite different. It is more vivacious with its haunting Jazz-swing tempo. It comes to life with burst of joy and enchanting romance. “O Nosso Amor” is a wonderful CD, warm, luxurious, lyrical, rich and infinitely haunting. Grab a copy. It is almost perfect. Rating: 5 stars out of five. A world-class musical quality.
