5.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful Bossa Rosa
By Anders Jonasson on May 28, 2006
Format: Audio CD
Here she is again,that wonderful bossanova classisist,Rosa Passos.
This time alone with only her voice and guitar,The tempos are slow and medium and the whole atmosphere is breathing compassion,and empathy. Rosas phrasing and rythm conception makes very single tune stand out.
One tune "Olhos nos Olhos" which is for a sister that was force to exile during the dictatorship is especially heart grabbing.
Sometimes we might forget that Rosa is not only a fantastic singer but also a very good guitar player this can be heard on a tune like the easy moving "Fusion" which is a tune that I can not get out of my head. Rosa plays it with such ease and smoothness that it just kills me
Finally to quote Carlos Galilea who wrote the liner notes
"One can not listen to Rosa Passos without falling in love"

5.0 out of 5 starsHeavy Bossa Nova. Stylish Bossa Nova vocals. No conceding to easy listening.
By Carlos from Rio on May 27, 2006
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
This is new material as recently recorded (but not issued) in Brazil by the great Brazilian composer and songbird, Ms. Rosa Passos.

All sung in Portuguese, program dare to open with an 'a capella' rendition of an old romantic samba hit titled 'Duas Contas'.

This is a voice and guitar work of art, an act of great courage to be offered to American audiences although so dear to Brazilian audiences. No violins, no percussion, just Ms. Passos' acoustic guitar and voice.

What a voice! Ms. Passos artistry seems to be ever growing in sophistication, gaining some vibrato, adequately moderate.

Repertoire includes many well-known songs in Brazil and some Rosa Passos' compositions.

4.0 out of 5 starsGorgeous; However....
By Rick Cornell VINE VOICE on June 1, 2006
Format: Audio CD
Christopher Loudon of "Jazz Times" recently raved about this c.d. And before listening to it, I opened the package and read the liner notes. There, I learned that Yo-Yo Ma believes Rosa Passos to have the most beautiful voice in the world.

So, I put the disc in the player, expecting heaven on earth. And for the first 16 bars or so on "Duas Contas", that's what I got. The c.d. sounded incredible.

Before long, I thought, "This first cut sure is incredible, but it's a little long." Then I looked at the player, and discovered I was on Track 4.

Therein lies the issue with this recording: it's too beautiful. It's like walking through a field of red and golden poppies. For 5 miles. After awhile, you realize that you'd appreciate the flowers more if there were a few petunias, daisies and marigolds along the way.

In fairness, a big reason for this is the program. This is all Rosa Passos alone, in the studio, just guitar and voice. And the recording sounds like she sat down and played and sang simultaneously, without mixing tracks.

Solo voice albums are extremely, extremely tough to pull off. The best albums I know of with voice and another instrument (usually piano) have an instrumentalist with whom the singer can interact. If you don't have that, it seems to me that to pull something like this off, you have to lay down the tracks separately and overdub like crazy. And even then, it may not be a complete success (e.g.--Petra Haden's "The Who Sell Out"). I don't believe such overdubbing happened here. On almost all of the tracks, Ms. Passos' guitar consists of a pluck of a low note and a strum of 2-to-4-note chord on the offbeat.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsthe best stress reduction album you could ever listen to
By V. Miller on January 9, 2007
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
This album is my remedy for a tough day. It is relaxing, sexy music from a voice that is just so soothing and absolutely beautiful. She sings in either Spanish or Portugese, but it does not matter because the melodies and her voice are all that matter. I love this album and play it almost every day.

5.0 out of 5 starsAmazingly soothing. (period)
By E Reed on July 6, 2007
Format: Audio CD
You can simply place Rosa Passos' CD on your favorite player and let it gently (but surely) envelop you with total bliss.

Her soothing voice accompanied by her soft classical string guitar will fill your place with the most pleasant feelings from the very first song.

You may not even notice at first, but then you will realize that she's turned any day that you were having into a beautiful day. Her music is that pleasurable and subtle.

In this CD, as others before, Rosa Passos remains true to her Brazilian roots, while reaching out and speaking with everyone in the world thru the universal language of music.

As a lover of Brazilian Jazz, I can say that Rosa Passos tops the scale of cool.

5.0 out of 5 starsLives up to the hype
By David Greenwald on February 8, 2008
Format: Audio CD
This is the first bossa nova album I've ever purchased, but I've always enjoyed Stan Getz's forays into bossa nova, so I figured I'd give it a try based on the rave reviews I'd read. Well, it certainly was worth it. This is definitely an album I'll be listening to frequently and urging friends to do the same.

5.0 out of 5 starsMusical refinement at its peak
By Carlos Weil on February 20, 2011
Format: Audio CD
Just wish to mention one track from this CD 'Fusion' originally by Jorge Drexler.Rosa Passos playing the guitar and singing of this theme will surely be historic in terms of musical refinement . I would like to compare it to Rosa's interpretation of 'Outono'(originally by Djavan)whose english title is 'Stay' sung by Rosa Passos and Kenny Rankin in english and portuguese in a Kenny Rankin album of 1997
Totally recommend these cds

5.0 out of 5 starsLOVE this album
By Arnie D on August 19, 2010
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
One of my favorite all time albums although sadly, many of my friends do not share my enthusiasm. songs are quiet, like lullabies, consistent and harmonious, no distracting peaks and lulls. Just a woman and a guitar, but what a voice! If you like one sog then you will like them all. I recommend it.
