5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful music + a magical voice = one GREAT CD!, November 25, 1998

This review is from: Garras Dos Sentidos (Audio CD)

I think Misia's "Garras Dos Sentidos" is probably the best form of poetic expression I have ever heard. It is passionate, tragic...and so, SO beautiful. Her voice has a light air of nostalgia that made me think of Lisbon's Barrio Alto. My words will not do her amazing singing ability justice...buy it and experience it yourself.

I was desperate for a good fado fix and this did the job! Her vocals are strong and smokey: she sings her heart out! She doesn't sing to please the quiet calm some people may be seeking in Portuguese music, but rather an emotional course of notes and vocal projections that capture the essence of the pieces on the album.

This one is definitely a "keeper"!

This review is from: Garras Dos Sentidos (Audio CD)

I have all of Misia's CDs, plus many more fado albums, and I have no hesitation in saying, like the first reviewer, that this is the best. Some tracks stand out, such as Danca de M‡goas, where the poem is by the great 20thC poet Fernando Pessoa, N‹o me chamem pelo nome, with words by the 19th/20thC gay poet, Antonio Botto, and Da vida quero os sinais. These all bring me out in goosebumps, but the album as a whole makes for very fine listening. Misia has just been made a chevalier des arts et lettres by the French government, and it may not be long before she is properly recognized in the Anglo-Saxon world as one of the greatest voices of her generation and a true heiress to the great Am‡lia.
