"Prelude" is a landmark album by the Brazilian keyboardist and composer Eumir Deodato, released in 1973 on CD format by CTI Records. This record stands out for its innovative fusion of jazz, funk, and orchestral elements, featuring the iconic rendition of Richard Strauss's "Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001)", which became an international hit and won Deodato a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. The album showcases virtuosic musicianship with contributions from renowned artists such as Billy Cobham and Stanley Clarke. CTI Records, founded by Creed Taylor in 1967, is celebrated for its high-quality productions that blend jazz with other genres and has been home to legendary acts like George Benson and Freddie Hubbard. Deodato himself is acclaimed worldwide for his genre-blending style; beyond "Prelude", he has produced over 500 records across various styles and worked with icons like Frank Sinatra and Björk.
