4 out of 5 stars Nothing elaborate ---.......2007-04-06

- just a nice album. One other guy said it well, a "Sunday Morning" type, perhaps - - - not a big deal, but nice.
Another nice addition is her "live from the Blue Note" -- also very unspectatular, yet, with some really neat chord changes (guitar) and what I'd call semi-delicious, okay?

5 out of 5 stars Refreshing Gal does Ary.......2005-04-18

Gal Costa,one of Brazil's greatest female vocalists released this album in 1980 as a tribute to Brazilian songwriter Ary Barroso.The product was an interesting and refreshing collection of 1940-1950 classics that were born again in Costa's unusual voice.Check out E LUXO SO and the duet with Caetano Veloso,NO TABULEIRO DA BAIANA.The ballad TU and the danceable FACEIRA only boast Gal's ability to perform a wide array of genres.

4 out of 5 stars Gal Costa sings Ary Barroso in her cool style.......2003-05-18

Ary Barroso was one the great traditional composers in Brazil. His only international reference is his song "Brazil" as recorded by Frank Sinatra besides Carmen Miranda's renditions of some of his songs.

So this is an Ary Barroso songbook album.

Features Caetano Veloso on "No Tabuleiro da Baiana" in a delicious duet with Ms. Costa.

Overall, you'll hear Gal Costa in her cool performances of Barroso's material. No brilliant arrangements to feature.

4 out of 5 stars Lovely, sumptuous Sunday morning music.......2002-04-10

Gal Costa is blessed with a voice that at once soothes, energizes and pleases in a lyrically tuneful way. It's no wonder she is so popular. This recording is a collection of lovely and lush songs, a perfect accompaniment for a sunny Sunday or to brighten up a cloudy morning. Even on the faster, brassier numbers like the first cut, E Luxo So, Costa massages you with her breathy seductiveness. Perhaps not as brilliant as the great samba masters, this is nonetheless a prize of a recording that my wife and I have enjoyed many times, while sipping coffee and reading magazines, etc. It never fails to please, even after repeated listening. An excellent purchase.
