5.0 out of 5 stars "There's Only One Elis Regina", September 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Arte de Elis Regina (Audio CD)

I was introduced to the music of Elis Regina in 1990 at The By Brazil Restaurant in Torrance California. My friend name Julio made me a tape of about 15 songs by her. I loved her then, and I love her EVEN MORE TODAY! I've never told anybody this before but, her music is so beautiful it makes me feel so good! so alive! It's full of pain,joy, happiness and this CD has it all! I cry everytime I hear her sing. It's very difficult typing this review without crying.When you visit Brazil you'll know what I'm talking about. I know it sounds weird, but that's how I feel about her and her music. I was surfing the web the other day, and type her name in one of those search boxes, I was shocked to see a website devoted to her. I surfed on over to you guys for more information. I have 10 CD's by her and didn't realize all the music she recorded. I swear "I will have everything she made" About this CD, what can I say? I have it already! It is great! It's Elis at her Best! One final thought, if your readers ever get a chance to go to Brazil, visit her Birth Place and read her Biography.

Ate Logo!

4.0 out of 5 stars What's not to love, April 5, 2002

By 

"cued" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Arte de Elis Regina (Audio CD)

The only reason I wouldn't give this 5 stars is because of the release date: 1975. There are another 5 years of incredible singing that she recorded between this record and her death. But if you want a historical sampling of deer Elis' evolution from the spunky bossa nova singing teenager of the early 1960s to the incredible superstar of the 1970s this is a good path to follow. You will want to track down her post 1975 material, though, to really appreciate the artist she became in her short life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hear the development of the voice of a young Elis Regina, September 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: A Arte de Elis Regina (Audio CD)

The sound quality is not allways very good, specially the older recordings. It's specially interesting for those who want to hear the development of her fantastic voice over the years since the sixties.
