Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars One of the alluring female voices of the Century XX!   August 19, 2008
Hiram Gomez Pardo (Valencia, Venezuela)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Astrud Gilberto was the Brazilian Dionysian lark per excellence and the embodiment of the sensuality, lyricism and tropical alluring of the best known Latin American music all over the world. Despite the terrible circumstances that made she left us before the used, she found in Antonio Carlos Jobim the perfect key for her to exhibit her sensitiveness, charisma and unforgettable charm.

This album picks up a very significant part of her musical legacy.



5 out of 5 stars lovely!   March 8, 2008
D. Kiley (CA, USA)
this album brightens my day. i got it about a month ago and ive listened to it about 7 times. her voice is so soothing.


5 out of 5 stars Love that ethereal voice   January 1, 2008
P. Nguyen
I got this for a bossa nova music lover and after hearing it, I would have to say it has been one of my best CD buys. Each track is soulful, complete with Astrud's distinct airy voice and smooth instrumentals. I can't get enough of her voice after hearing her sing Girl of Ipanema on a compilation album, so I bought this CD. Many of the songs she sang may not have been that familiar to American radio, but they are well worth your ears. Broaden your music repertoire, get Astrud!

If you are loking for a disc representative of the best of Astrud Gilberto and what makes her unique sound so attractive then this is a good one to begin with.


4 out of 5 stars What a great way to combat winter!   April 10, 2007
J. Tryk (Cleveland)
Although I was a bit "put off" by some of the pop tunes, her summery voice & the warm arrangements held the snow at bay!
