About This Album
This is an excellent collection of 24 songs by poet and singer Vinicius de Moraes, including immortal classics like "Garota de Ipanema," "Minha Namorada," "Chega de Saudade," "A Tonga da Mironga," and "Samba da Bênção." Unlike most other collections of de Moraes' work, this album offers a good overview of songs composed and performed by him together with all three of his major composing partners: Toquinho, Tom Jobim, and Baden Powell. This, of course, makes Best Loved one of the best and most complete de Moraes collections yet released. For all fans of de Moraes' uniquely warm and comforting brand of bossa nova poetry, this CD is one of the best opportunities to listen to it. However, one cannot help but wonder why "Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar," surely one of the most beautiful declarations of love ever written, wasn't included. ~ Philip Jandovský, All Music Guide
