Amalia Rodrigues is the unchallenged queen of fado--the Portuguese equivalent of flamenco or blues--and one of the greatest singers on record. Her voice is rich and sinuous, with the soulful intensity of a Billie Holiday or Edith Piaf, but a warmth and sense of phrasing all her own. This retrospective ranges from her first recordings in 1952 up to 1970 and gives a superb picture of her work. The instrumentation is simple guitar and Portuguese mandolin, perfectly framing her aching laments and flowing melodies, like a gentler version of flamenco or a continental cousin of Cesaria Evora's morna. The songs include folk and popular material, but the emphasis is on the deep, passionate fado, and it doesn't get any better than this. --Elijah Wald

A lovely overview of the preeminent fadista.......2007-05-07
While I'm no expert on Portuguese fado music, for the last few years I have been buying and listening to CDs from some of the most notable international performers. Many of them, especially Misia, draw inspiration from the late Amália Rodrigues--the most famous and adored singer of fado in the twentieth century. This collection spans several decades of her work, and all the tracks are strong. Priced modestly, the "Art of Amália" is an excellent choice to survey the tremendous skill and passion of this very important singer in the genre. It would make an excellent addition to any fado collection, and it could also make for a nice introduction to fado for fans of world music generally.
amalia.......2006-03-15
What can I say about this magnificent fadista that hasn't already been said. As far as I'm concerned no one can ever even come close to this fantastic artist. She puts so much feelings into every song that I can not help but to get teary eyed.
The voice of the "Iberian Blues".......2005-08-03
Fado is a traditional portuguese music that has many meanings that cannot be found in a dictionary. It deals with fate and "saudade", a feeling best described as a melancholic reminescence of times past, but can also deal with day to day life, its joys and sadnesses. It often is described as the Portuguese answer to Blues, although musically they have very little in common. Amalia was the voice that brought international recognition to this musical style, and what makes her music so special and universally appealing is that her voice transcends the lyrics and stories she sings about. Even if you do not understand portuguese - the sounds of the guitar and "violao" in the background highlighted by her imense range and depth will haunt you into thoughtfulness. Her music is best enjoyed in solitude as it can inspire reflection and introspective. Now, don't let my intelectual musings scare you away - listen and discover it for yourself and find out if you have some "saudade" in you.
Poor quality sound.......2005-03-09
The sound quality of this CD is so poor that I can't bear to listen to it. There is a lot of distortion. If I try to listen to the CD using headphones, then the channel separation becomes a problem; I hear one guitar and the singer's voice in one ear, and the other guitar (too loud) in the other ear. If I put the CD in my CD jukebox, then I cringe every time one of the songs on this disc is played, because it is recorded at a really high level, and that, combined with the distortion, hurts my ears.
The Queen of Fado.......2005-01-28
To listent to Amália Rodrigues is to be hynotized by the sheer parodxical nature of life's eternal beaty and never-ending sadness. Never have I heard such a hauntingly beautiful voice. Her talent is unmatched. You may not understand her language, but the beauty is, you don't have to understand her words to understand her emotion.

Customer Reviews:
Queen she is. Her Best CD.......2005-02-25
You have to have this CD if any of the below is true.
1.You like Fado, the Best Musical Style of Portugal.
2.You already know that Amalia is indeed the Queen of Fado
3.You are aware of first two and now have to know that this is her Best CD.
4.You have absolutely no clue about Fado or Amalia, but are musically adventurous, because on both counts you will be amply rewarded with immeasurable joy.
Basically you have NO CHOICE but to have this particular CD since it will be your best introduction to both Fado and Amalia
Why now I have an urge to mention Cesaria Evora? Because she is another Queen that sings in Portuguese (she is from Cabo Verde)
Even though she is not a representative of Fado, she has her sad and romantic style common with Fado. She is another gem that you have to discover in deep see diving of world music and be glad you did.
flat out one of the greatest recorded divas of any genre.......2004-01-14
Amalia's voice is just incredible. Her tone, her expression, her ability to shade pitch ever so slightly to emote. She's just flat out one of the greatest singers of the 20th century. Fans of fado of course know about her, but she ranks with Umm Kulthum, Judy Garland, Maria Callas, and few others who possess a great voice, seemingly limitless talent, and that most elusive of elements, soul. This recording or some such compilation should be in the collection of everyone who loves vocal music.
FERNANDO.......1999-12-02
AMALIA, who I had the opportunity to work with in 1993 / 1994 /1995 in USA and CANADA theaters I had the opportunity to visit often in her home in LISBON in RUA de SAO BENTO which soon will be a museum. You will be very much missed our hearts are empty without you. February 26, 2000 at THE TORRE DO POPULO Ponta Delgada SAO MIGUEL AZORES we will have a tribute in her honor dinner and show the funds will be for a dinner for ederly homes in her honor FERNANDO..........
QUEEN OF FADO.......1999-11-07
AMALIA died but she taught us alot. When I found out that she passed-away I left sad.The last time I saw her was at the VETERANS MEMORIAL AUDITORIM in PROVEDENCE RHODE ISLAND.AMALIA will be missed by us.
The best of the portuguese diva.......1999-10-17
Amalia died, but she lives in her music. This album isn't just a good one. It's a gift of the gods. If you like music, any kind of, you must have this or any Amalia's album. A must!

amalia.......2007-06-13
the best amalia cd.great sound and all the great traditional fado songs.
This voice can do no wrong.......2005-03-05
Amalia still reigns as the Queen of Fado, and this collection provides further evidence of why that is. This compendium includes selections recorded over a number of years, and provides a range of material from pure Fado to folksong. All of it is sung in Amalia's inimitable style. Powerful, emotive, fantastic. It's difficult to describe her voice if you are not familiar with Amalia. I consider her one of the great voices of the 20th century - and this from someone who routinely listens to Tebaldi, Schwartzkopf, and the like.
As an improvement over the 'Art of Amalia 1', this CD credits the musicians performing with her on Portugues guitar, etc. A wonderful selection of Fado that I would highly recommend.

AVOID !!!!.......2006-11-16
Amalia is great, my favourite singer, the best ever. But this record ... it's awful, a pirate, a shame. If you really want to descover the magic of Amalia's voice, always look for the EMI label cd-s.

Two as one.......2002-06-07
Originally released in 1964 on vinyl this a classic grouping of the fiery Amalia Mendoza and El Rey, Jose Alfredo. I immediatley purschased this when I saw it available again on compact disc.There are many reasons to include this CD in your collection. If you're a fan of Jose Alfredo or Amalia Mendoza than that should be reason enough, that they are both featured together is a magical moment to not be missed. Whether you are discovering or rediscovering the songs of Mexico this is truly a clasic pairing and recording. The songs are beautiful numbers where they either sing a duet or alternate solos. The duets are mixed with clarity and proportionally impeccable, each voice blending to create one new voice, Amalia y Jose Alfredo. Since the Mariachi Vargas deTecalitlan is "backing," the quality is of the highest standards under the direction of Ruben Fuentes. Jose Alfredo is in fine form, featured in equal billing and in rare form as he is performing mostly (8)songs that he did not pen. This further illustrates his versatitliy and magnificent interpretive voice. Listening to the two of them sing in harmony is a real treat, since they both had powerful voices and styles it is a match made in heaven. Amalia Mendoza matches El Rey's extended notes, note per note, neither faltering, both accentuating the lingering moments to create a frozen historical moment in time. It is like triple harmony at times, the duets, the solos and the Mariachi, all alternating in unison to create a synergistic musical fiesta. Twelve songs recorded nearly forty years ago to be enjoyed then, now and forever. A must have for El Rey fans.
Have lived to love her singing style........1999-08-03
Would like to know more about Amalia Mendoza. Her life, her songs, her history (past and present).

A great CD.......2000-02-05
Amaila is one of the best if not the best fado singer in the world. With her amazing voice she can move you through a set emotions like no one else. I does not matter if you know Portuguese or not, this CD transcends language. I would also recommend Dulce Pontes if you like this kind of music.
Dona de uma profundidade musical imcomparável............2000-01-06
Mais uma vez Amália transborda talento em suas músicas.Tristeza,esperança,melancolia e alegria misturam-se em suas músicas em melodias que vão e vem e nos enchem de poesia...
Rodrigues is the queen of fado........1998-06-26
Fado is indescribably sad, full of "saudade," that elusive Portuguese concept rich in memory, longing and the feeling that the past will always keep some essential part of us. Some of that feeling is captured in North American country music, especially the work of Hank Snow; some folk tunes, notably the music of Tom Rush, also embody saudade. But Rodrigues' work is in a class by itself. She communicates a sadness, a longing that fills her soul as she sings fado numbers like "Coimbra." The Portuguese guitar -- sometimes accompanied by zither -- adds to the melancholy. It's lovely music that can stir an amazing mix of emotions, and even if you don't speak a work of Portuguese, with Rodrigues' crystal clear interpretations, you'll get the point.
