From the back cover: "The Classical Brazilian Guitar", the first records of Maria Livia Sao Marcos, has won the award of "Best Records Of The Year" from the music critics affiliated to the Sao Paulo Association of Theatrical Critics. A most deserved award, as we must add to the great artistically talent of the soloist the importance of the repertory, consisting of compositions recorded for the first time, such as "Concerto For Guitar And Small Orchestra" by Vivaldi, "Brazilian Scenes" completed by Isaias Save, "Mode Paulista" by Osvaldo Lacerda.

Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Maria Livia Sao Marcos began playing in concerts at the age of thirteen. She won the Villa Lobos award in a contest sponsored by the Departamento Municipal de Cultura de Prefecture de Sao Paul in 1960. She studied guitar under the direction of her father, Prof. Manoel Sao Marcos, and musical theory and composition with Professors Arthur Hartman, Domino Cozzella, Rossini Tavares de Lima, J. C. Caldeira Filho and Osvaldo Lacerda.
