"Sylvia Telles is a Brazilian songbird who became notorious by her delicate phrasing, deep sense of swing and for her Bossa Nova repertoire.
The late Ms. Telles was one of the first songbirds to adhere to Bossa Nova and she has recorded virtually all the Bossa Nova standards, always with extremely good taste.
'Pure Bossa' shows a compilation of her recordings for Philips/Elenco Records (under Universal label today), her second label after Odeon/EMI.
A good selection. All sung in Portuguese."
Pure seduction!!

"THis is probably the most definative CD of Sylvia's easily available..The Voice that caresses and sooths the soul is underscored by those lush and creative orchestrations that graced her early recordings..making one think more of moonlight ,shadows,smokey nightclubs and Cabarets than the sunny Impanema shore..Music to dream by!!"
