Free Music Review: Gilding a Lily
Hit: 5 Stars
Like many reviewers, I only discovered Elis in the mid-90s, about a decade and a half after her passing; but from the first note I ever heard her sing (I think it was from this disc), I knew I had stumbled upon one of those artists that defy the notion of mortality. Unforgettable, timeless, irreproducible by any known form of chemistry, Elis is all this and more.
From everything I've read she was (to say the least) "difficult" but diva-esque excess is a small price to pay for such transcendent artistry. (The French, I think, call call such figures "sacred monsters.") I don't know how she manages it, but no matter the recording/performing venue I always feel that she's singing just for me. (Check out, for ex, the great U-Tube video of her performing live at Montreux with Hermeto Pascual)
This disc (among the dozen or so of hers that now grace my collection) is a work of consummate perfection, ranking right up there with Elis and Tom. The vocal range (from whisper to roar), the power, the sheer unadulterated fun, its all here. And Toots, with his afinity for the music of Brasil (to wit, his two Brasil Project discs with literally a who's who of the country's performers and composers) proves himself the perfect musical companion to one of the greatest beyond-category vocalists of the twentieth (or any other) century.
Much as I love Simone's cover, I would have loved to hear her sing (i.e., break my heart with) Ivan Lins' haunting "Comecar de Novo".
