Free Music Notes for Antonio Carlos Jobim's Finest Hour
Free Music Review: Great at first, ultimately disappointing
Hit: 3 Stars
Listening to this compilation gave me the chills at first, but it was also an introduction for me into Jobim's work and Bossa Nova in general (though this is cetainly to Bossa Nova per se, don't get me wrong). After I started exploring other recordings and returned to this CD, I realized that it's not that great after all, flawed actually. Buying better headphones didn't increase my appreciation for the mastering either.
Antonio Carlos Jobim's Finest Hour Poster
While Antonio Carlos Jobim is an essential figure in the music of Brazil, he also created a significant place for himself in American music as a great songwriter and a key figure in the tremendous popularity of bossa nova. Apart from his unique melodic gift, what makes Jobim's work memorable is the complexity of mood he could evoke--the touch of sadness that colors the brightest bossa nova, the irony in the midst of joy, and the mixture of delicacy and resilience in his voice and piano. He was an artist who worked primarily in pastels, but it was his sense of shadows that gave his work its most enduring qualities. Including his most famous tunes and collaborators--like "The Girl from Ipanema" with Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto--Jobim's Finest Hour catches it all, from the standard-bearers to such gems as the playful "Aguas de Marco." --Stuart BroomerInternational Music CDs
