Whisper, the Bossa Nova Brandenburg Concerto, is the new CD by Cristina Braga, singer and harper. The new album brings us the live recording of a concert with Braga, the Brandenburg Symphony Orchestra, the Modern Samba Quintet and a special guest: the singer and guitarist Dado Villa-Lobos. Whisper features compositions from a pantheon of bossa nova legends, including Antonio Carlos Jobim, João Donato and Baden Powell. The album also features arrangements by Grammy winner Ruriá Duprat, Ricardo Medeiros, Alberto Rosenblit, and Jaques Morelenbaum, who was Jobim's musical director in the final years of his career. Whisper, a partnership project between the German Enja and the Brazilian Biscoito Fino, is in fact an exciting album recorded live in Germany, with the Brandenburg Symphony Orchestra and the contribution of the Modern Samba Quintet, which has in its formation some of the musicians in Brazil.

Cristina Braga is something of a unique pleasure - she sings, she plays the harp, she does both with an ensemble of friends on this very soothing and gentle CD of music from her native Brazil. Braga is principal harpist with the Rio de Janeiro Symphony and has worked as a soloist with many symphony orchestras. She is also professor of harp at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and a member of the directors' board of the World Harp Congress. She is considered one of the most important harpists in South America - showing the world a harp with Brazilian soul, spreading out the possibilities of her instrument and introducing listeners worldwide to the sound of the Latin American jazz harp. And now she proves that she is as comfortable in popular music as she is in the classics.

In addition to her own improvisational use of the harp as her accompanist, she here adds a supportive group of musicians to enhance her appeal. The ensemble, then, is Cristina Braga voice and harp, 
Ricardo Medeiros, doublebass
, Jessé Sadoc, trumpet and flugelhorn, 
Joca Moraes, alfaia drums and tambourin, and 
Arthur Dutra, vibraphone. ~Grady Harp
