Excerpts from the Liner Notes written by Arnaldo DeSouteiro:
"One of Brazil's greatest contemporary guitarists, Paulo Bellinatti completes a mission of historic significance with the release of this CD, a collection of his more than accurate transcriptions of Garoto's works. Although gems of a composer much ahead of his time - a pioneer of the bossa nova style due to his harmonic complexities and rhythmic innovations - the pieces never seemed so fresh as through Bellinatti's hands. Never letting his impeccable technique overshadow the captivating spontaneity of his playing, he creates a true masterpiece."
Arnaldo DeSouteiro - New York, NY, 1991
