This repost is been worked since 28th May 2007.
Shame it on zecalouro, he took three months to realize that Caetano Rodrigues could send it to us, as he did.
The repost idea started with a request from a Loronix friend who lives in Paris, France. I don’t know if I can mention his name, but he did a nice work to track down this album, even making email contact with Maria Hiort Petersen. Unfortunately, we did not exchange emails since then and I think he will be surprised with this reposting.

Encontro Marcado features Luiz Eça and Maria Petersen, in my humble opinion, one of the best Luiz Eca albums. The first version had a low bit-rate and eleven tracks, running time of 46 minutes. Caetano sent the CD version with extras, three additional tracks with running time of 67 minutes. It is a mandatory repost, now with highest bit rate and alternative FLAC files. I recommend.

This is Luiz Eca & Maria Petersen – Encontro Marcado (1992), for Line Records, recorded live at Au Bar, Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, Rio de Janeiro with musical direction of Durval Ferreira and arrangements by Luiz Eca. 

Maria Petersen is a Danish singer and this is her first album. Luiz Eca piano can be heard in all tracks and Maria Petersen beautiful singing accompanies Luiz Eca piano in 9 tracks. Our very good friend from Paris said Maria Petersen recorded more albums before Encontro Marcado, most of them dedicated to Brazilian music. I think it is really worth to track them down.

01 – Minha – Luiz Eca
02 – Chuva – Luiz Eca & Maria Petersen
03 – Brigas Nunca Mais – Luiz Eca & Maria Petersen
04 – Corcovado – Luiz Eca
05 – Imagem – Luiz Eca & Maria Petersen

Zeca:
This is a very rare recording with a limited amount of Lps pressed. I was at the recording session. It was done 2 or 3 years before Luiz passed. Maria had been living in Rio (where this was done) but shortly after it came out returned to Denmark where she’s still singing and recording. I love the “naturalness” of this recording. Good job, Zeca!

Hi My Good Friend Zecca,
The french music detective, who’s not the inspector Dreyfus but the Pink Panther Himself is very glad to see that you brought us, with the talent and the elegance which caracterize you, excellent FLAC dope of this sultry vocal recording!
Even Maria will be surprised to see that because she can’t even find the original album!
A thousand thanks indeed, and only one of our old french words: félicitations!
