5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you, Elis., November 23, 2004

This is a masterpiece: no soft jazz, but great music from the seventies with a distinct Brazilian tinge. Elis is in great voice, raw and emotional. 'Como nossos pais' is utterly beautiful, one of her greatest performances ever; 'Fascinacao' is heavenly mysterious; 'Los Hermanos' and 'Gracias a la vida' are sung in Spanish with an earthy Argentine edge in the voice that no Argentine can match; and no one weak song here! It's superb.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Elis Regina album, July 16, 2002

Too bad it is so hard to get. Hopefully that will change. In my humble opinion this is the single greatest LP Elis ever recorded. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. If you are a fan of Brazilian 70's music, this belongs in your collection...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Sold-out Music Play in 1976, May 17, 2003

This review is from: Falso Brilhante (Audio CD)

"Falso Brilhante" was a sold-out music play by Elis Regina. A wide cover of Brazilian and Latin music of the moment. "Gracias a La Vida" and "Los Hermanos" are sung in their original Spanish. Elis also covers some of the new important composers from those times, namely Belchior. The ensemble is the usual one for Elis at those times, with the usually great arrangements by Cesar Camargo Mariano. Here you'll find Elis Regina in all her splendor. This is a studio (not live) album although it gets nearly all the repertoire from the show. Strangely, one of the best Elis' renditions from the show was not recorded in the studio, the song "No Dia em Que Vim-me Embora" by Caetano Veloso.
