 Rating: - A Gem, A MustThis bottom line about Joao Gilberto is that no one will ever stop anything from rushing a melody like his voice can. If that wasn't enough, his guitar and his glorious compositions are stellar, his renditions of Brazilian classics and Claus Ogerman's strings, in Amoroso, are without a blemish. This is two-albums-in-one kind of thing, and for a change, you get two momentous albums. The second half, Joao shares the studio with Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa and Maria ...

This album is good to own because you get two albums for the price of one, Gilberto's "Amoroso" ...

I don't aggree w/ the above reviewers who don't like the orchestral arrangements? Are you nuts? This album is fantastic! Its actually two albums, and I love every song. I grew up listening to mostly r/b and this style is second only to that for me. I had never heard music so beautiful as in (portueguese'.) One of my professors suggested that I give a listen to ...
