Fantastic Music; Shameful Transfer to CD, August 29, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Caterina Valente & Luiz Bonfa (Audio CD)
I'm pleased that this recording finally became available, but I was sorely disappointed when it arrived. I assumed it had been remastered in Japan, but the CD was made in Brazil, where, a lazy, flat monophonic recording was used for the transfer. It's unfortunate that Bear Family Records did not produce this CD, since they would have done such an incredible job with it, as they have with Caterina Valente's other albums. That said, the music is wonderful, and a vinyl copy of this record is impossible to find--and Caterina Valente is remarkable--she's at her vocal best here. I'd still pay $40 bucks for this CD, but now I'm on the lookout for a stereo copy of the vinyl. Sigh.
