extraordinary.......2006-04-30

Oh, please discover this beautiful artist, it worths the "detour". All these songs are beautiful and fantastic by example Piensa In Me, Une Ano de Amor, Lo Eres Todo and all the other songs.

exquisita voz de Luz.......2005-07-25

Es deliate oir las baladas que interpreta Luz. Al escucharla uno facilmente se deja relajar tanto a la voz como a la musica.
Al menos es seguro que mas de cuatro canciones les van a gustar al oirla.

UNA VELADA MARAVILLOSA.......2005-04-09

Me sorprende que nadie opine sobre este disco. ¿Es que acaso no conocen a Luz Casal? A mi parecer es el tipo de artista que conquista desde la primera vez, con su estilo nostalgico y esa voz maravillosa. "Entre mis recuerdos" es una canción muy bella que no se hace vieja (recuerdo haberla escuchado por vez primera hace casi 10 años). Por otro lado"No me importa nada" ocupó el primer lugar de las canciones descargadas de iTunes durante más un mes, compitiendo con música de todos los géneros en español e inglés. Sólo por estas dos canciones vale la pena tener el disco (por lo que el resto es un bonus interesante que bien podría dar unas cuantas sorpresas al espectador).
Lo recomiendo ampliamente a todo el mundo, sin importar el tipo de música que prefieran. Aún más disfrutable si se escucha con audífonos en una tarde lluviosa.

A perfect merge between Pontes and Morricone.......2005-06-11

This is one of the best albums I've ever heard.
Ennio Morricone had known Dulce Pontes for many years, but he refused to work with her saying that her voice wasn't ripe.
Now we can see why... Morricone is a genious and managed to get the best out of Dulce.
It is an album full of emotions, either by the greatness of Morricone's music, either by the feeling that Pontes managed to transmit with her voice.
My favorite song is called "Amor a Portugal". It's a portuguese version of the "Your love", included in the portuguese edition as an extra track (number 16). It could become the Portuguese National Anthem.
As for the comment of one other review comparing Dulce Pontes with Celine Dion, I tottaly can't agree with that. At all.
Dulce Pontes is only showing the maturity in her voice.
And she's great doing that...

Pontes fan disappointed.......2004-06-16

I have listened in amazement to Pontes pushing the boundaries of fado and folk genres on her prior CDs with her unique delivery and fantastic voice. Here she leaves those boundaries behind and goes off into Celine Dion territory--show off all your technical ability and the entire extent of your range in every single song. Kind of exhausting. On the other hand, if you like fireworks in every song, this one's for you.

Beyond earthly realms.......2004-03-05

As cliched as it might sound, there are no words to describe either the talent of Dulce Pontes or the quality of this recording. This is one breathtaking singer, approximating the status of divinity on "FOCUS". For those lucky enough to understand the Portuguese lyrics, what a blessing; you may as well have discovered a new planet, a new world, particularly with regards to "Renascer" and "Voo". The inclusion of songs in English and Italian is a bonus.Dulce is so much more than a singer on this disc - she is life itself, in all its magical strains, in all its tortuous twists. Listen to "No Ano Que Vem" and you'll know what I'm talking about. No wonder that the album has done so brilliantly in Portugal and is now infiltrating countries such as Greece, Spain, Italy and Japan. Focus is a universal event, a celebration of that exquisite beauty which for so many of us remains a mere longing. Along Dulce's short career, this is the moment we've all waited for - now the world needs to discover it also. When I first heard this masterpiece, I felt that I was transcending, re-emerging, beginning to live all over again. Inevitably, Ennio Morricone must be mentioned - a great genius! The passion of his compositions remains unequalled - "A Rose Among Thorns" is testimony to the brilliance of both composer and singer. Through Dulce's miraculous imterpretation, Ennio Morricone's music must perforce become the new standard. I have been listening to the album for three days... and I feel like buying it again! Bravo, to two magical human beings perfectly poised on the wings of a wonder!

Too much talent!.......2004-02-29

This is an impressive album where Dulce Pontes turned cinematic themes from the Morricone repertoire into songs in English, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, and she is breathtaking in most of them. Dulce Pontes embellishes Morricone's compositions with an epic grandeur that few other singers could have achieved. Her voice is very potent and playful, subtle when necessary, blends gracefully with the music, and succeeds in recreating the absurdity, the nuances, and the overwhelming beauty of Morricone's eccentric musical temperament. My favorite songs are those in English, particularly "Your Love" (with music from Once Upon a Time in the West). Dulce's elegant venture into a Brazilian arrangement makes "Nosso Mar" another favorite of mine. Her best achievement, however, is probably "No Ano Que Vem", a song inspired by Jerusalem and set to the strangely upbeat music from the film Maddalena. Focus is a superb accomplishment in Dulce's career. In the end, one could not possibly deny her the classical stature of Ennio Morricone.

Beautiful.......2004-01-21

I listened this album over and over. I really loved all the songs, one of my favorites is "Cinema Paradiso", is absolutly beautiful. The voice of Dulce Pontes I think is one of the bigest voices. I really enjoyed this album, i hope you will enjoy this like me.

Entry level of a seasoned artist.......2002-11-07

I bought this album because the one I REALLY liked was not available ... (and I hope after I write this comment it will be). The one I like and absolutely recommed is: "Volver a verte".

This one is just ok. No comparison to the other one.
