Free Music Notes for The Silver Collection: The Astrud Gilberto Album
Free Music Review: beware of flawed digital transfer
Hit: 3 Stars
the sound of this cd is mostly ok, but a few tracks sound like they didn't spend much time with the transfer to digital... some distortion on louder orchestral parts on one track, a couple tracks actually start a few beats into the recording, so you miss the downbeat! imagine releasing an album like that? maybe the original source recordings are flawed too, who knows, i'd try for one of the more recent remastered versions, see if they're any better.
but the music is mostly cool, esp. the first half which is the original tracks of the Astrud Gilberto Album, a few tracks are iconic: Agua De Beber, Dindi, Once I Loved... by today's standards a little heavy with studio orchestra in some moments, but it was the flavor of that age, even the early Brazillian records made by Joao Gilberto with Jobim were arranged like that.
The Silver Collection: The Astrud Gilberto Album Poster
Astrud Gilberto found fame with her contributions to 1964's classic Getz/Gilberto album, which spawned an instant standard in the hit single "The Girl from Ipanema." From there, she went on to fill many LPs with her winningly hesitant, longing vocal style; this disc collects 25 tracks cut between 1965 and 1970 for Verve. Among them are early versions of a number of Brazilian standards by the likes of Antonio Carlos Jobim ("How Insensitive," "Once I Loved") and Luiz Bonfa ("The Gentle Rain," "Tristeza"). "Fly Me to the Moon" and the Bricusse-Newley "Who Can I Turn To" fit the mood perfectly. Throughout, Gilberto is aided by lush, thoughtful arrangements, including one by Gil Evans on "Berimbou." This entry in the Silver Collection series is an excellent introduction to one of Brazilian pop's most emblematic voices. --Rickey WrightLatin Music Music CDs
