Album Description

Milton Nascimento's captivating album, Pietá, is a masterful blend of genres, weaving together the intricate threads of MPB, bossa nova, and Brazilian jazz. Released on 26 July 2005 via Savoy, this 1 hour and 12-minute musical journey is a testament to Nascimento's skill as a storyteller and musician.

The album's 17 tracks take the listener on a winding path through the complexities of human emotion, from the soaring beauty of 'A Feminina Voz Do Cantor' to the melancholic introspection of 'Tristesse'.
