Tchaikowsky on the Brazilian Masterpiece label. The International Symphony Orchestra Conducted by Alexandre Schnederhann.

“How can one express the indefinable sensations that one experiences while writing an instrumental composition that has no definite subject? It is a purely lyrical process. It is a musical confession of the soul, which unburdens itself through sounds just as a lyric poet expresses himself through poetry… As the poet Heine said, ‘Where words leave off, music begins.’ ” Piotr Ilyich Tchaikowsky

“Macumba” on the Brazilian Sinter label. This is one of the most amazing covers. A real voodoo ritual complete with the rooster blood letting, the live snake, the priestess and her pipe and most disturbingly the man in a trance licking the blood from his hand. I’m spooked to even be writing about it. Curses!
