5.0 out of 5 stars Paulinho and Toquinho live, November 28, 2000

(REAL NAME)   
this is a great album even if it has too little Toquinho for Toquinho lovers and too little Paulinho for Paulinho lovers. It would have been better as 4 CDs.

For Paulinho/samba lovers: for me the great tracks on this double album are Tempos Idos, a forgotten but very beautiful Cartola tune; Dama de Espadas; Cantando; and other classics.

For Toquinho lovers, there are a number of good bossa classics, including a few he wrote with Vinicius, like Tarde em Itapoa.

But the most fun is hearing how these two guys perform in each other's worlds. It's a rare treat to hear Paulinho singing bossa nova and to hear Toquinho comping in choro. The music is beautiful, intimate, and 'amicavel'. Who would have guessed ?

Also, side benefit - for choro lovers, there is a great Toquinho performance of Abismo das Rosas and a nice Paulinho performance of his composition Choro Negro.

All told, a must-have album.
