 Francis Hime, one of the maestros of MPB, got fifteen pianists to play thirty of the songs that have been central to the forty+ years of his career. A lot of those songs will be familiar especially to Brazilians.

Two CDs with piano music. And one senses immediately how those categories - is it Jazz or is it classical? - just don't capture the nature of this Brazilian music storehouse. I'm a great fan of Hime's talents as a composer AND as arranger - you may enjoy his arrangements on dozens of MPB albums (Chico Buarque's, for example). However, though Hime's albums are all way above average, they tend to be uneven. Relatively negligible songs stand next to veritable gems you can find on any of his albums. Plus, though Francis is not a bad singer, singing is not exactly one of his major talents. So, here on Meus Caros Pianistas, the questions are elegantly solved. No singing, just the music. And since Francis is a pianist, the arrangements capture the essence of the songs. And then there's the fabulous playing of those pianists: Cristóvão Bastos, Wagner Tiso, Sonia Vieira, Miguel Proença, Maria Teresa Madeira, Linda Bustani, João Carlos Assis Brasil, Rosana Diniz, Clara Sverner, Gilda Oswaldo Cruz, Antonio Adolfo, Fernanda Chaves Canaud, Gilson Peranzzetta, Helvius Vilella.

The result is something like the essence of Francis Hime.
