5.0 out of 5 stars Misia's best, January 15, 2006

This review is from: Paixoes Diagonais (Audio CD)

Misia has created an exceptionally beautiful and moving cd in Paixoes Diagonais - even the title is great. Her singing indeed begs comparison with the great Amalia, although Misia has a slight (modern) quality of playfulness to her notes of longing that Amalia didn't. This cd is also better recorded - by that I mean more naturally - so that her voice doesn't have the harder digital edge heard on some of her other recordings. In all, a cd to treasure.

This review is from: Paixoes Diagonais (Audio CD)

I brought this CD purely for the art work & written material that came with the CD. I had no idea what this music is about, but once I popped into the player, the first guitar notes, the piano , then that beautiful voice just overwhelmes you. I do not understand the lyrics, i.e. Portuguese, and/or what type of music she sings, but good music transcends language, culture & time. If music is what separates us from the animals, then this is it. I'm anxious to hear her other works.

This new album brings the public back to Misia's spell. Each and every song of it are pure art, such as the artist herself. For lovers of excellent music this will be a masterpiece of a collection and a must for those who love this new and unique voice of Fado.
