O’s Notes: When considering world class masters of the mandolin, the name Hamilton De Holanda quickly surfaces. Caprices is his latest release with two-dozen titles (on two discs) each centered on South American themes and performed in solo, duo and trio formats with many young and established Brazilian musicians. Bassist Guto Wirtti, pianist André Mehmari and guitarist Rogério Caetano are a few of the special guest that rise to tackle various techniques, some rather complex. The session goes beyond technical wizardry to provoke listeners to embrace the spirited exchanges.
