CD Reviews

A wonderfully arranged and performed album.
R. M. Trumble | Dearborn, MI USA | 10/17/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is Elis at her best (was she ever anything else?) "Bodas de Prata" is a wonderful almost art-song-like composition. "Deixa o Mundo e Sol Entrar" is a basic popular song sung so well and tastefully arranged. "Bonita" by Jobim is sung in English, but the language barrier doesn't hamper her style or pronounciation. The superbly-rhythmic "Ou Bola Ou Bulica" shows the typical perfection Elis achieved in singing complex rhythms. But for most part it's a fairly quiet album which grows on you with repeated listenings."
Several beauties accompanied by avoidable disco stuff
Hugo | Barcelona, Spain | 11/26/1999
(4 out of 5 stars)

"In my opinion, the first half of this release contains two much disco-pop-rock stuff, as "Dinorah, Dinorah", "Bola ou búlica" or "Noves fora", which is the part of Elis I less like. But the album also includes such beauties as "Joana francesa", "Bodas de prata", "Entrudo" and "Violeta de Belford roxo", songs where Elis shows her expressive qualities at her best, her ability to thrill and move the listener with every note. In summary, a mixed release which can become a masterpiece if you programm your CD player to avoid the drekky stuff."
This is not an authorized album, just for her fans
Carlos from Rio | Rio de Janeiro, RJ Brazil | 05/18/2003
(3 out of 5 stars)

"When Elis Regina left Polygram Records, there were some parts of recordings, tracks which were not approved by their composers (like "Valsa Rancho" by Francis Hime) and even by Elis herself.Fortunately for her fans and unnecessarily for quality reasons, Polygram Records has decided to issue this neglectable album."
