Nucleo Contemporaneo, Album Review: Danças, Jogos e Canções , 01/01/01 >>
"What I love about this music is that it sounds like now in Brazil to me, without really being that traditional somehow, even though it is obvious that the players know all about the sources of what they are playing."
Pat Metheney
"It´s not easy to define this music. There is a feeling one cannot easily describe the music, even though the musicians know it well, and that leads us beyond our mere passions. "Musical", perhaps, it´s a possible name for this feeling. It´s from the bottom of this almost ´impersonal´ emotion where the Orquestra found some reserves of meaning. And it´s to this spot where we go now, where we always want to go, following the black bird of music, down the river."
(Folha de S.Paulo, 14/10/2002 - Arthur Nestrovski)*
*Danças, Jogos e Canções got the highest rate (four stars) from Arthur Nestrovski.
"Orquestra Popular de Câmara goes deep inside tradition but nevertheless shows a contemporary loyalty to that popular music tradition." (O Estado de São Paulo, 17/12/99 - Mauro Dias)
