Review: Great Album, but terribly mastered:Upon hearing the original vinyl pressing, I wanted to have a copy to put my SACD player to use. I was very disappointed in the mastering of this SACD. THe recording levels were much too high, and there was no dynamic range to speak of. There wer... |

Review: A great artist but not a great cd, recomended only for fans:I'm a big João Gilberto fan and I have all cds he recorded. The problem with this cd is the quality of the recording. It isn't very good and on some songs the orquestra on the background makes it almost impossible to li... |
