5 out of 5 stars Breathtaking!.......2006-02-07

This is the compilation that introduced me to Astrud's music about a year ago. Before that I only knew her for her "Corcovado" with Getz. After getting this collection, I pretty much bought everything by Astrud that has been released on a CD in USA. If you are tired of the screaming and attitude of today's "divas", go with the original DIVAS. Every single song in this CD is a little treasure. I can't believe VERVE wouldn't release her 1968 and 1969 albums on a CD. Are they crazy???

5 out of 5 stars A Must.......2005-09-21

If you like Astrud Gilberto, you owe it to yourself to get this CD. It has her big numbers with Getz: "Girl From Ipanema", "Quiet Nights", but above all it has some real gems that you don't often hear. Instead of covers of popular American tunes you get some great songs like "So Nice" "Dindi," "Non-Stop to Brazil" and "On My Mind." The English versions of the Brazilian songs are first-rate. There is a killer Spanish song "Tu Mi Deliro." Almost everything on the album seems tailored to her voice.
