Working with musicians from Rio and London, Viktoria has selected 13 wonderfully evocative songs from some of the great composers of Brazilian popular music including Caetano Veloso and Antonio Carlos Jobim, to name just two. All the songs are heard in stunning new arrangements and you will be surprised at how many you know. 'Stradivarius in Rio' is a wonderfully evocative album that captures the sound and spirit of Rio and its unique music.
"Occasionally there's a feeling as with so many crossover classical attempts that the whole thing is too tasteful and careful, but what wins out here is Mullova's sheer dancing virtuosity in Tico tico and Brasileirinho - these are as dazzling as the sights and sounds of Brazil." (The Observer, April 2014)
