Songs List
Reviews "All of the cuts on the CD shine, and all of the ensembles play well, but the duets really stand out. The recording not only offers delightful performances by seasoned choro players -- it presents Marilynn at her best!" Terry Pender "Marilynn Mair performs Brazilian mandolin music that in its lilting string compositions calls to mind staring out admiringly into a charcoal-black sky after hours on a veranda in Brasilia. Or in her swifter downbeat rhythms, Mair plays the mandolin as an instrument for all occasions -- an after-dinner party and the late-night dancing, fast and close, that follows." Vaughn Watson "Mair displays an exceptionally gifted approach to this music...using her formidable mandolin technique with grace and sensitivity....It's the next best thing to a trip to Rio." David McCarty "It's a gorgeous piece of work. Very highly recommended." Scott Tichenor |

Marilynn Mair's all-choro CD features mandolin in combination with a variety of different ensembles, from duets with piano, clarinet, or guitar, to quartets and octets featuring bass, percussion, and instruments of the mandolin family. The music ranges from early 19th-century works, to the classic choro of Pixinguinha and Jacob do Bandolim, and includes contemporary pieces by Mair and her fellow performers.
