Editorial Review: Amazon.com: With due respect to Claus Ogerman and Tom Jobim's orchestration, bossa nova music is at its most beautiful when it is stripped down. Joao Gilberto knows it, performing solo for several years now, and Rosa Passos proves it on her solo disc, the aptly titled Rosa. Coy, innocent, and playful, the full nuance of Passos's voice is in full bloom here. Even her breathing is musical, seemingly creating tension before the next line is sung, and every stretched syllable, moan, and inflection is so intimate that she seems to be on the couch next to you. Buoyant and contemplative, her acoustic guitar playing pulses with a bossa nova heartbeat. She takes on mix of originals and covers here, making each song her own even when she draws upon such non-Brazilian writers as Jorge Drexler and Keren Ann. Highlights include the heartbreaking original "Sutilezas," "Jardim," and vocal-only opener "Duas Contas." No trendy beats or new fusions, Rosa is bossa nova in its purest form. --Tad Hendrickson Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Lives up to the hypeThis 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. Rating: - Amazingly soothing. (period)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. Read More: Rating: - the best stress reduction album you could ever listen toThis 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. Rating:  - Gorgeous; However....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 ... Read More: Rating: - Beautiful Bossa RosaHere 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 ... Read More: |
