Stunning recording. Members of Tom Jobim's band, these guys are fabulous. Sem Voce, the last "studio" cut, is one of the most *saudade* of any of Jobim's timeless compositions. But for the last cut, was recorded LIVE in Jobim's house, Sakamoto playing Jobim's Steinway. If you have a great hifi, at one point you can hear a bird squawking outside the house! Jacques Morelenbaum sounds beautiful on cello; his wife, Paula, is-without question-one of the finest singers in the world-she's so in tune it almost makes one's teeth hurt. Impeccable phrasing. They bring in some stunning friends, too. I've bought and given away at least a dozen of this album. This is a "must have" CD for any serious music lover's collection; I say this having been a professional musician for over 45 years. I just wish it were available on vinyl. If you buy this and don't like it, you really need to reexamine your life. No offense meant, but seriously. It's beautiful.Read full review
