Customer Reviews
I've always liked Astrud........
.....and still do. This is a remake of an LP from back in '64....very early Astrud. There's always been a certain charm about her...maybe a "little girl" quality...hard to define. The story is that she only got onto the legendary Getz/Gilberto album in the first place because she could sing in English. Not sure if this was her first solo effort...
This is an album of pop music of the day, English and Portugese...probably the best known cuts would be the title song, "Fly Me To The Moon", and "Who Can I Turn To". One can say that Astrud has an accent, BUT, one can understand every word, which is more than can be said for some who grew up speaking English.
As I said, this is a reissue of an LP...and there's the one drawback; oh, the sound is fantastic, as we expect from Verve. But, 25' 34" is kind of short for a CD that goes for above-market price. Still, I like it, and I bet you will, too....
smooth range
to all the other five star reviews, I can say Amen!
However, there is one thing I noticed about Astrud Gilberto's
voice I hadn't recognized before. Notice her transition from
either the low or middle register to a hign note. It's smoothness
is unimaginable. Truly the best CD of hers of all that I own.
EASY LISTENING WITH SOOTHING FEMALE VOCALS
Great easy listening with soothing and pretty female vocals.The songs are quite emotional,with a beautiful sadness to them that only the mid to late 60's can bring.Just fantastic.I also recommend "A Certain Smile,A Certain Sadness" and "A Look To the Rainbow" from Austrud Gilberto.......and Carlos Jobim's "The Composer Of Desafinado Plays" and "Wave",all of these recordings are from the mid to late 60's and are very similar.
