CHARLIE BYRD - The Washington Guitar Quintet (1992) APE (image+.cue), lossless

Romanticism, Afro-Latin voicings and classical stylings are the three primary components of Charlie Byrd's most recent release. It blends his playing with that of Carlos Barbosa-Lima, Jeffrey Meyerriecks, Myrna Sislen and Larry Snitzler, and the quintet members expertly complement and contrast each other on a program of American popular standards, compositions by Vivaldi, Mozart, Antonio Carlos Jobim and three superb interpretations of the Bix Beiderbecke masterpieces "In A Mist," "Candlelights" and "In The Dark." It's more structured than improvisatory, but the playing is so compelling and exquisite that it should appeal to both guitar lovers and music fans generally. by Ron Wynn

CARLOS BARBOSA-LIMA & SHARON ISBIN - Brazil, with Love [1992]

Up until 1986, Carlos Barbosa-Lima recorded for the Concord Concerto subsidiary of Concord, however this release was put out by Concord Picante. The set of guitar duets teams Barbosa-Lima with the equally talented Sharon Isbin on six lesser-known Antonio Carlos Jobim songs, four by Alfredo Vianna (including "Carinhoso") and four from Ernesto Nazareth. The Brazilian music is difficult to dislike and the enthusiastic (and technically skilled) guitar work is a constant joy.  by Scott Yanow

CARLOS BARBOSA-LIMA - Dez Dedos Magicos Num Violão De Ouro [1958] LP

This is Antonio Carlos Barbosa Lima – Dez Dedos Magicos num Violao de Ouro (1957), for Chantecler, the debut album of the renowned Brazilian guitarist Carlos Barbosa Lima, recorded in 1957 when he was only 14 years old. This should be really fascinating for musicians, guitarists and fans of Carlos Barbosa Lima, which is a brilliant acoustic guitar player that has even invented techniques that no other guitarist had even tried before.

CARLOS BARBOSA-LIMA - Plays The Music of Antonio Carlos Jobim & George Gershwin [1982] CONCORD

Carlos Barbosa-Lima is a superb Brazilian classical guitarist who has a beautiful tone. On his debut for Concord Concerto (the first of many releases), Barbosa-Lima performs six pieces by Antonio Carlos Jobim and eight by George Gershwin. The guitarist mixes together hits with some lesser-known tunes. Highlights include "Desafinado," "Corcovado," two of Gershwin's Preludes," "'S Wonderful" and "The Man I Love." Not an improviser, Barbosa-Lima worked out inventive and melodic renditions of these classic melodies, some of which are quite concise; "'S Wonderful" is only five seconds over a minute long. A strong example of the beautiful music of Carlos Barbosa-Lima. by Scott Yanow
