5.0 out of 5 stars kite on the sky, January 9, 2001

By	nino vasev (college station, texas) - See all my reviews

After listening to this record I understood suddenly why is the music all about, why some chords arranged in the way Claus Ogerman did awoke forgotten memmories and feelings like : first trip out of home, first date, first kiss,tears, first jeans, first italian espresso on via venetto in Rome watching all these beautiful girls and streets and marble spanish steps, it was a trully lifetime experience. This record is one of the gemstones of all kinds of music , this is the record that should be protected and kept in MOMa or Washington or better in Taj Mahal because this monument of love is similar to this record. I have all jobim records, but this one.... Two kites on the sky and you'll feel like a high school boy, double rainbow and literally you,ll find the treasure but not on one side but on both sides. Dont miss the liquid dreams and love from this record. If youre sorry call me, but I hardly believe so. NINO

5.0 out of 5 stars Jobim's Best, July 20, 2003

By	Aric (Palm Harbor, FL United States) - See all my reviews

The first time I heard this CD was late at night several years ago. The entire 75 minutes this album played on my CD player I sat down listening in awe delighted that a human being could create such beautiful sound with charming and poetic lyrics to match. The orchestration is near perfection. I have not since heard music as beautiful and haunting as what's been crafted here. By far his best effort!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great album & pairing with Claus Ogerman, June 17, 2000

By	Barbara J. Major "bjbear71" (Upper Darby, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Anyone who is a fan of "A Certain Mr. Jobim", "Wave", "Urubu" or any of the other joint efforts by Tom Jobim and Claus Ogerman (arranger), will want to add this album to their collection of Jobim recordings. Beautiful orchestral arrangements--the kind for which Ogerman never disappoints. There are some very moving tracks here--enough that it is difficult for me to single out a favorite track--and I don't know how anyone could not enjoy listening to every minute of this CD.
