Free Music Notes for The Diva Series: Astruo Gilberto
Free Music Review: Astrud never sounded better--BRAVO, ASTRUD GILBERTO !!!
Hit: 5 Stars
The Diva CD Series gives us a great album of songs performed by Astrud Gilberto. Astrud's voice was singularly beautiful; although at first blush she merely sang flat and didn't have a wide vocal range, in actuality Astrud could deliver a song right alongside the best of them! Astrud sang with all her heart and soul and this CD proves it.
"Agua De Beber" starts the CD with Astrud Gilberto performing a marvelous bossa nova number; and the male backup vocals enhance the beauty of this number. Astrud's voice is as clear as a bell and she aces this easily. "Agua De Beber" is a major highlight of this album. Great! Listen also for "Tu Mi Delirio;" this has an elegant arrangement for the piano and percussion; and when Astrud comes in this number truly takes flight! "Tu Mi Delirio" showcases Astrud's vocal talents nicely and she never misses a beat! "The Girl From Ipanema" is a classic Jobim song that Astrud and Carlos Antonio Jobim perform with panache; "The Girl From Ipanema" is a sublime number when these masters perform it flawlessly.
"On My Mind" has s very sprightly arrangement with lots of positive energy and Astrud Gilberto delivers this like the pro she always was! Similarly, "Manha De Carnival" boasts a fine arrangement and Astrud sings this very passionately--I'm so impressed! "Manha De Carnival" has a very pretty melody. "I Haven't Got Anything Better To Do" has a wonderfully sensitive guitar and strings arrangement; and "Corcovado (Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars)" really shins brightly as Astrud sings this with heart and soul, Astrud's voice is perfect for this classic ballad; and "Corcovado (Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars)" is easily another major highlight of this album. "The Gentle Rain" is yet another fine number that Astrud aces without any noticeable effort; "The Gentle Rain" works well on many levels at once.
"Once Upon A Summertime" features Astrud singing this moving ballad in English; she sings other ballads in English but "Once Upon A Summertime" is truly one of the better ones. "All That's Left Is To Say Goodbye" reverts back to an energetic, positive style and Astrud sings this sad song that has a positive melody even though it belies the seriousness of the lyrics. "Canoeiro" has an excellent arrangement as well; and "Canto De Ossanha (Let Go)" ends the CD on a strong note (no pun intended)! This awesome tune really makes a fantastic ending for this album.
Astrud Gilberto should never be forgotten; her vocal talents are much richer than she usually gets credit for. This CD proves just how talented she really was; and I highly recommend it especially for fans of Astrud and that bossa nova sound.
