Sorry, yet another question!

Posted by: RICHYH on 22 June 2004

A mate has asked me what is the classical music used in the Levi advert when 2 people kept running through walls. I didn'thave a clue but know a man who does.
By the way if I ever get onto "Who wants to be a millionaire" I'll use the forum for my phone a friend.

Oh my goodness, Nick! That was you 3333rd post, and you make it a one-liner with less-than-perfect punctuation! Tut, tut.

While we're at it, I listened to a CD in a shop recently but can't remember for the life of me what it was exactly. It was a fairly recent CD by a Brazilian singer/songwriter bloke, first or surname was something like Vicinius or Vicinus, and the cover showed his face and a wall (with a lot of green, I think). The music was well-produced and a bit plinky-plonk. Anyone?

Poet and lyricist Vinicius de Moraes worked with Jobim, but he died in 1980.

Lots of people have covered his songs. Could it have been a tribute album of some sort?

I prefer the Lilt Ladies version myself, but be aware that the bit of Handel was a modern arrangement, and thus the original may cause some disappointment.

Davie, that wasn't him -- I've already checked allmusic.com for similar names. I'm pretty certain it was a regular, recent studio album. Thanks anyway, though!

But, your eminent 3334thness, it isavailable - that is if you have the stomach for 'The Best Chillout Ever' [VTDCD-480]. It's track 9 Disc 1, and the Academy of St Martins In the Fields to boot!

Normally quite brazen about my more unusual purchases [Mae West's debut album is genre defining], I have to say for the record that I was given this one. A lot of individual tracks may be acceptable, but the total effect is that of elderly lettuce when it starts to go dribbly. There's Barber [can you guess?] Adiemus and Nat King Cole - you can imagine. But if it's souped up Handel you want, I'm afraid you'll have to bite the bullet.

Why haven't you posted about that forthcoming Nick Nicely release - the Group needs to know, I feel....

And it wasn't Caetano Veloso?

I just heard this fella on the radio:

Vinicius Cantauria: Horse and Fish

Could it be him?
