Nara Leao: Garota de Ipanema

"This are among the finest female vocal renditions of the classic bossa nova tunes in classic bossa nova style. Other Brasilian vocalists have surpassed Nara in many respects, but not in rendering bossa nova material. Beautifully produced, beautifully performed, it is without doubt a desert island disc for anyone who loves this music."

"Classic Bossa Nova that would make Joao Gilberto proud. No overdone arrangements to take away from the simple beauty of the songs. She really was the muse of the movement despite her reported protestations to this role. One of my favorite albums."
