Editorial Review:
It's become increasingly difficult to find a Brazilian bossa nova singer not interested in electronic production values. For those yearning to hear bossa nova music played acoustically, singer Rosa Passos is the answer. Her pitch perfect voice is almost girlish and coy, but her supple phrasing shows her to be a true veteran. Her star's been on the rise since her impressive contributions to Yo-Yo Ma's Obrigado Brazil (Ma guests here as well), and now she's landed on Sony Classical for her major label debut. A tip of the hat to Joao Gilberto's classic Amoroso features four bossa nova classics from that album, two more Antonio Carlos Jobim compositions and six others. The small-group arrangements are often restrained but jazzy (channeling a little Stan Getz), while the orchestral format for three tunes is a velvety a nod to Claus Ogerman's lush arrangements of many bossa nova classics. This is an instant classic from one of the music's finest interpreters. --Tad Hendrickson
Japanese pressing of the bossa nova singer/guitarist's 2004 album includes two bonus tracks, 'S'Wonderful' & 'Triste' (exclusive). Details TBA. SME.
Includes a Bonus Track: 'chega De Saudade (Featuring Yo-yo Ma)'.

Rating: - Amazing voice
For the lovers of Brasilian music, this is a "mut have" cd in your collection. Rosa Passos has a fantastic voice. Get it and you would not regret it.
Rating: - Celebrating Joao Gilberto
Remember "The Girl From Ipanema"? Well, she is alive and well and reincarnated in Rosa Passos.

It is just plain delightful and refreshing to hear an artist reviving the old tradition without the electronica makeover. I first took note of Rosa on one of Yo-Yo Ma's Brazilian excusions. She is a contemporary ... Read More
Rating: - Best of today's Brazil!!!
I just discovered Rosa Passos recently.....her voice is sexy and cool.....she is todays version of Astrud Gilberto.....this CD in particular has fantastic arrangements that compliment this terrific singer!
Rating: - Pure bossa nova
Rosa Passos is a very sophisticated singer from Brazil. Unfortunately she is almost completely unknown in her own country. In this CD she makes a tribute to João Gilberto (he has a 1977 album, "Amoroso").The last track has the participation of Yo -Yo Ma, cello.
