I have heard some of his music, but never owned one of his CD's.. The more I listened to this CD the more obvious became to me that this man is an incredible composer/poet and singer. The arragements and production of this record is impecable; his lyrics are poetic, his vocalization of these Lyrics is beautiful, original AND VERY UNIQUE. Not to mention all the virtuosos that contributed their talents in this music. Bassist Ron Carter, Pianist Herbie Hancock and Guitarist Pat Metheny to name some...This CD is my favorite "Sunny Saturday Morning" CD. It is very GOOD !!

This CD is a must-have for any fan of Milton Nascimento. Nascimento's chemistry with jazz greats Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock is really sweet. I highly recommend this album.

You will find very interesting sounds in this record. Of course, you really cannot make a bad record when you combine the talents of Mr. Nascimento with that of others', such as: Peter Gabriel, James Taylor, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Wayne Shorter, Etc.

Great album!

I love Milton Nascimento's early work ("Travessia" and "Clube Da Esquina"), but this does not reach that level by far. My main objection is that it does not live up to the promise delivered by the famous names of the participants like Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Pat Metheny a.o. "Vera Cruz" is OK, but the rest is just too pretentious. Just as a warning to all Brazilian music lovers out there: this is certainly not a must have, apart from die hard Milton fans. I would rather recommend to check out the latest releases by fellow Brazilian Caetano Veloso ("Livro" and "Prenda Minha"), because they are really indispensable!
