Grammy nominations, 1959

Best Engineered Record, Classical   (winner)

Best Classical Performance, Vocal Soloist

the following experts are taken from Capitol promo material -

from Hi-Fi & Music Review May, 1958 - ...a prize-winner in my collection. Laurindo Almeida's guitar playing captures the keen poignancy and rhythmic elan of Brazilian music with superb assurance and taste. He is joined by an excellent flutist, Martin Ruderman...and a mezzo-soprano whose velvet voice and astonishing flexibility has hardly an equal at present: a girl with the singular name of Salli Terri. She sings Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras No 5 with a sinuousness and ecstasy which make this the finest modern version. - K.G.R.

from the Seattle Post Intelligence, February 1958 - ...Miss Terri's voice is an ethereal one, and the three musicians make totally enchanting music together. Highly recommended.

from the Oregonian, February 1958 - ...exploits the lyric and emotional possibilities of everything from the 5th Bachianas Brasileiras to a Chopin prelude...unbelievable singing. A fascinating assortment of mingled beauties.
