The first among many Toquinho - Vinícius albums brings some of the greatest Vinícius songs through his new collaboration with guitarist and singer Toquinho. According to liner notes written by Vinícius himself, he became acquainted with Toquinho in Buenos Aries club called La Fusa, where the latter performed samba and bossa nova with female singer Maria Creuza. The encounter resulted with this beautiful and historic recording, full of great bossa nova standards like Jobim's A Felicidade, Lamento no Morro, Garota de Ipanema, Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar and Se Todos Fossem Iguais a Você, Baden Powell's Berimbao, Consolação and marvellous version of Samba em Preludio, as well as some less known but equally beautiful songs like Carlos Lyra's Minha Namorada, Caetano Veloso's Irene, Toqunho - Jorge Ben's Que Maravilha and Vinicíus' Tomara. Arrangements consist of Toquinho's guitar, bass and percussion and excellent vocal arrangements of three of lead performers Vinícius, Toquinho and Maria Creuza. This album is a must for any bossa nova collector, but at the same time a great introductory album for all those that are not yet initiated.

A jewel from a time that has gone and will not return. How do we replace those brilliant musicians such as Vinicius, Joao Gilberto and A. C. Jobim? We can't, so a record like this is a must for all who love brazilian samba and bossa nova. Even the young Maria Creuza vocals shine through the tracks. I followed her further career with attention, but she never got even close to this performance, maturity seemed to sink her into a much more commercial mood of performing.
If you want a classic, follow my advice and buy tis CD.You won't regret.

This complilation of songs flows beautifully. I have been trying to find several of them in one CD especially "Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar" and "Samba Em Preludio". Lirics, voices and arrengements were carefully put together to bring us an amazing period of Brazilian music. Not being a critic in the matter I just think that this CD is as lovely as a fragant bouquet of flowers, warm and enriched with Maria Creuza's voice and Toquinho's guitar. I love it.

Es mucho lo que se podría decir, más de 1,000 palabras seguro, pero basta decir con excelente, una delicia, de las cosas que la vida te pone por delante para que te sientas bien de vivirla.

este cd grabado en vivo, hace ya mucho tiempo, nos muestra en una performance sorprendente y casi irrepetible en sus trayectorias a creuza y toquinho. Vinicius, maestro viejo ya, despliega su arte y encanto. La seleccion de temas es soberbia, y las interpretaciones dificilmente superables. Ejecutado en forma suave, con algunos picos de ritmo de brasil, destila un encanto y dulzura raros de hallar. Felicidade, si todos fossemigual a vosse, que maravilha, tomara, soneto de la felicidad,etc,siendo bellisimos siempre, se escuchan aun mas bellos en este cd. No soy fan de creuza ni de toquinho y me gustan algunas cosas de vinicius, pero este cd , a pesar de eso, es para mi una performance culminante,un momento de especial brillo de todos ellos, que hace que nunca me canse de volver a oirlo.
