A Brisa Do Coracao

Amazon.com
Since the death of Amalia Rodriguez, Dulce Pontes has been the queen of Portuguese fado (the word translates literally to "fate"). Times have changed and what was once a cry wrung from the guts of Lisbon's bawdiest waterfront dives now often falls somewhere between a polite drawing room exercise and trivial pop. This live double CD captures a singer in her vocal prime and proves that she is not a studio phenomenon but a concert artist of the first order. Her pipes are miraculous, and comparisons to Barbra Streisand are more apt than not, and on several levels. In Pontes's hands, the old-time dignified despair of fado materializes in fits and starts, although minus much of its bracing vulgarity. But whether she will evolve beyond mere histrionics to achieve that intimate understanding of tragedy shared by the greatest fadistas remains to be seen. --Christina Roden

Not so much..........2003-12-02

I got O Primeiro Canto and absolutely loved it. This live album was poorly recorded and poorly edited. (Or should I say, not edited) Much of the 2nd CD is a waste, about half of it being applause to the point of distraction. If you already love her and have her other CDs, by all means, get this one too. If this would be an introduction to her music, find a different one. This one leaves a lot to be desired.

Diva Dulce Entrances Listeners.......2003-11-07

I first heard Dulce's work while at an obscure bar in Japan. Her voice was etrancing...almost heavenly -- and her range was equally impressive. Dulce has been blessed with superhuman vocal chords...

After hearing Brisa Do Coracao (the entire album is in Portuguese), I rushed out & bought the CD the very next day.

Dulce is a league of her own with this live masterpiece, as she brings listeners on a journey into a new realm. Enjoy.

Great live performance.......2000-06-23

This CD contains a registration of a live show in Porto back in 1995. It's a great introduction to the work of Dulce Pontes, more traditional and pure than the studio albums I know. Among the best songs on the album are Los Indios de Meia Praia, a very beautiful ballad that remains in your mind after hearing it for the first time, and Lagrima (a song of Amalia Rodrigues). Lagrima and the title track are twice on the album because both were repeated at the end of the show. The CD contains a complete text-book. Dulce Pontes is a GREAT live-performer.
