A Good Collection, but...

"I've known and followed Roberto Carlos' career since 1971.
I certainly could appreciate a well rounded original Portuguese version of his hits,as he represents one of Brazil's best exports as well as a national icon. This CD "30 Grandes Sucessos" does a fairly good attempt of bringing us "greatest hits". The sound is GREAT, especially for those 1971-6 tracks.
A definitive collection of his local and international hits is NOT. I fail to understand how Columbia Brazil saw it fit to release this set without the original versions of "A Distancia"
and "Un gatto nel blu". This is as releasing "Beatles 1" without A Hard Days Night and Help! Some obscure B tracks were thrown here as well as repeating "Todas as nossas senhoras" twice: by being the first track of Vols 1 and 2. Now, why would you want to do this? It is otherwise a noteworthy addition to the CD player on a lazy Sunday afternoon or while at your leisure...It is recommended, though an opportunity of releasing a definitive gem was lost, and for this reason I gave it 4 stars."

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!

"BEAUTIFUL,SACRED,SEAMLESS,ROMANTIC,SACRED! If I could have only one CD on my island, this would be it! If anyone else out there knows of an artist similar or better, please let me know, because I am in not in 7th heaven, I am in infinity heaven!Roberto Carlos Fan Club, sign me up! Just spent 2 months in Brazil collecting music, and am returning to live there, so if you love Roberto Carlos, please let me know what else rocks your musical world, and we can explore new heavens. I have always kept ear to all kinds of music -rock, new age, classical,devotional,romantic,etnic,reggae, etc...and this CD cuts across most of these. A knock my socks off and knit me another pair experience. Obrigaga Roberto, and a HUGE hug and kiss!"

The lyrics say it all!

"I grew up with this music, on an island far away in Europe. The words in Roberto Carlo's songs described so many things that I wanted to say but did not know how. Years later I find the same sounds and lyrics on amazon.com. It's a jungle out there, but you still find a treasure once in a while. If you like romantic melodies, get this. If you don't understand the words, learn them. The lyrics still say it all, 28 years later."
