5.0 out of 5 stars Angels do exist, December 8, 1999

This review is from: Puro Prazer (Audio CD)

Listening to Zizi Possi is, as the album title says, pure pleasure. Her voice, pure, understanding of the lyrics she performs, net, not needing anything but the search of esences is an experience that takes you by storm. Warm, expressive, net...what else to say? A pleasure for all senses, a master class for singers. But let's make it simple: pure pleasure, pure Zizi.

5.0 out of 5 stars Modest presentation, maximum impact, February 26, 2003

"Uma voz, uma piano..." This is a pleasantly stripped-down set of Brazilian, Italian and Latin American ballads, richly presented with only Possi's voice and piano accompaniment by Jether Garroti, Jr., very much in keeping with the impulses that led her to quit her first major label contract (with Philips) back in the early 1990s, so that she could rescue her singing from the overproduction that runs rampant in much of contemporary Brazilian pop. Garroti's playing is minimal and sparing, her vocals expressive and fluid; together, their presentation has a gravity and warmth that elevates these songs above the standard-issue MPB pop-vocals rut. This album is a lyric-lover's delight, with every turn of phrase present in the listener's mind, clearly expressed and emotionally resonant. Pretty classy stuff, with material by Gilberto Gil, Geraldo Vandre, Chico Buarque, etc., and some pleasant surprises, such as Violetta Parra's "Volver A Los Dieciseite," one of the best melodies to come out of the Latin American "new song" movement. If you're looking for a classy set, with crisp, art song presentation, this is an album worth tracking down.
