5.0 out of 5 stars a beautiful collection, January 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cesaria Evora Best of (Audio CD)

From what I know of diva Cesaria's output (admittedly not a lot) this album seems a good overview. Regardless, the music and singing is beautiful and varied, with tracks like Sodade and Cabo Verde swooningly gorgeous.

Another highlight is Sangue de Beirona, which appears in a number of remixes on Cesaria's most recent single, Carnaval de Sao Vicente.

I'd highly recommend both the single and album.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have, January 21, 2002

This review is from: Cesaria Evora Best of (Audio CD)

I was always vaguely familiar with Cesaria Evora having grown up in Russia where she was, for some time, quite well known. But it's only as an adult that I was able to fully appreciate this brilliant singer who brings an amazing amount of soul and honesty to her singing. Think Ella Fitzgerald and Judy Holiday, albeit Evora sings a different style of music. This collection, featuring some of her best known hits, is a must have. Just sit back and let it roll over you.

Constantinos V. "Constantinos V." (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cesaria Evora Best of (Audio CD)

This is an excellent collection of songs. I have heard it many times and I like the swings it has from slow, sad songs to fast paced ones. I discovered this cd in down-town Athens. I was going to work and every morning out of a cd shop Cesaria's voice was coming out. This was going on for almost three months. One morning, as if I were "hypnotized", I went in and I inquired about it. At first I was surprised with the looks of the bare foot diva (nothing like today's glistering pop-artists). This is a further proof though that the success of this artist is not based on the looks but on the spontaneous, unique way of singing. I like every single song in this CD and I think it is the ONE that someone has to bye from Cesaria's music.
