5.0 out of 5 stars ONE GREAT BUY OF A CD BOX SET, October 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)

ASTRUD GILBERTO IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS OF THE 20TH CENTURY. AND IF YOU WANTED A CD THAT HAD SUCH AN ARRAY OF GREAT SONGS, THIS CD IS A MUST. I LOVE HER VERSION OF "WAILING OF THE WILLOW" AS WELL AS OTHER SONGS LIKE "THE FACE I LOVE", "DINDI", "HERE'S THAT RAINY DAY", "IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNING", "SUMMER SAMBA", "CALL ME", "GENTLE RAIN". I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CD TO ANYBODY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting set of Astrud, March 21, 2008

This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)

This is a nice set of Astrud's Verve years and it seems (to my ears)that some of the songs are alternate versions so it made it worth the purchase after having most of this materiel already in one form or another. The liners notes are alas in,(I think) Japanese with no English traslation. Very nice set.
