5 out of 5 stars Doing Bossa and being black.......2004-08-06

Awesome re-mastering of a 1961 classic. Fans of Samba, jazz, and anything latin will appreciate Elza Soares' energetic performances. Had she been in the USA she would have fit in nicely in the Rat Pack! However, as a black woman in the melting pot that is Brazil, her success opened doors much like Dorothy Dandridge in the USA. I would even compare her with the great Ella. Her interesting story includes being married to the soccer star Garrincha! This edition, with new liner notes written by Elza herself is well worth the investment.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2006-06-21

I just saw Elza in concert in Rio at Mistra Fina (2006) and she was absolutely amazing - great voice and a great entertainer. This is a CD not to be missed as is the re-issue of 'A Bossa Negra' and the more recent 'Vivo Feliz'.

5 out of 5 stars amazing!.......2003-01-31

i heard her perform in rio - i had no idea what to expect, and i don't speak portuguese. she blew me away - she performs everything from the blues to hip hop. her energy, charisma and emotions bust through the language barrier. this cd is very much like the performance she gave that night - remarkable, passionate and amazing.

5 out of 5 stars Brazilian diva teams up with electronic collective.......2004-10-09

Elza is Elza. A powerful voice that is as Brazilian as the flag of her country, an energetic lady that is praised everywhere (she was elected best singer worldwide by the BBC). A character that is not afraid to take risks.
"Vivo Feliz" is a major risk. By teaming up with the young electronic collective of Reco-head and producer Arthur Joly, she has lent her voice and her persona to one of the most vibrant albums to come out of Brazil in years. It is intense, rhythmic, emotional and plunges deep in new musical experiments. No, ladies and gentlemen, this is not drum'n'bass meets bossa nova. This is the real deal. Pure, genuine creativity and real energy in the form of music.
Tracks "Rio de Janeiro" and "Computadores Fazem Arte" (a stunning cover of the track made famous by the late mangue singer Chico Science) are my favorites.

          5 out of 5 stars Remarkable music from Brasil.......2005-07-23

          Luciana Soares is a child prodigy pianist from Goiais, Brasil, a seemingly unlikely origin for such a miraculous young pianist. She studied with the best pedagogue in Brasil, tracing her pedagogic lineage directly to Franz Liszt. She taught at a prominent conservatory in Brasil. She holds Master and PhD degrees in music, and on this CD performs music she has personally compiled from 19th and 20th Century Brazilian women composers, some trained, some naturals, all remarkable. Dr. Soares studied the music and the composers extensively and interviewed several of them. Some of this music had never been published or performed, to my understanding, and it runs a wide gamut of popular, folk, and classical. With a Brazilian musical soul, and an Hungarian pedagogical pedigree, Dr. Soares is a completely uncanny pianist. She performs a vast repetoire of classical music (one has not lived until hearing her perform such music as Liszt's "Dance of the Trolls", or Villa Lobos' "Valse Triste", or Ravel or Prokofiev, Guarnieri, or Beethoven variations, and we're avidly awaiting more CD's of her performances). The short pieces she performs here are definitive performances of absolutely wonderful music, melodic, rythmic, evocative, visual, moving, and fun, of the best quality of Brazilian music. Who knew there were so many marvelous Brazilian composers. Recent Brazilian popular music is of course widely known here, and widely played, from The Girl from Ipenema and all of Jobim, to Brazilian popular classics, performed often by American jazz artists (the late Stan Getz perhaps foremost). But this music is mostly new to the US, and stunning. Truly a remarkable gift from Brasil. Listen to Branca Bilhar's Samba Sertanejo (and you can't possibly sit still, you have to move with the music), Fernandes' Preludio and Valsa, Pereira da Silva's Valsa-Choro No. 2, and Chiquinha Gonzaga's mysteriously melodic Corta-Jaca, and Atraente. Anyone who has heard Arturo Lima, the great Russian trained Brazilian Pianist, perform, for example, Ernesto Nazareth's marvelous Choro's, or Baden Powell performing Villa Lobos' Choro No. 1, will immediately recognize that Luciana Soares is of the same standard here, dare one say even superior, and more authentically Brazilian, than these. She has an expressive capacity that is riveting. She communicates more directly and more powerfully with her audience than any pianist that I have ever heard perform, including Emmanual Ax, Murray Peria, Mischa Dichter, Horowitz, Alicia de la Rocha, Eteri Andjaparidze. One gets a sense that she is channeling the spirits of the composers when she performs. One feels the music from inside. She combines a virtuosos technical ability with an apparently intuitive (but perhaps more from extensive study and hard-won insight--it only seems to be intuitive when she performs it, a testament to her artistry) understanding of the music, and an ability to communicate it, that I have never before heard. I would unreservedly recommend this music to anyone who enjoys piano performance, Brazilian music, folk, popular, classical music, or wants to hear something new and remarkable.
