Editorial Reviews : 'Casa' is the Portuguese word for 'house.' It's also the title of this melodic and moving tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim by the Oscar® and Grammy award-winning pianist-composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, Brazilian cellist Jaques Morelenbaum, and his vocalist wife, Paula. The Morelenbaums, who cofounded Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum, both worked with the maestro, and almost all of the tracks here were recorded in Jobim's Rio home. The CD contains fluid and florid renditions of bossa nova-era classics from the Jobim canon, from 'Amor em Paz'--with Jobim's son Paulo on guitar--and 'Bonita' to 'Vivo Sonhando.' It also unveils rare songs like 'Chanson pour Michelle,' a short and sweet composition written for a soap opera, and a never-before-heard work, 'Tema para Ana,' an intimate piano/cello duet. Sakamoto's spare and splendid pianisms ring from Jobim's piano. Morelenbaum's singing cello tones complement his wife's angelic Portuguese and English vocals. Together this talented trio--with occasional accompaniment by percussionist Marcos Suzano, guitarist Luiz Brasil, vocalist Ed Motta, and bassist Zeca Assumpçao--beautifully exposes the French influences of Satie, Ravel, and Chopin in Jobim's music.
Buyer Reviews : CASA was thought to be the CD that the heart that a human being hid appeared. Though it doesn't know Portuguese, I know only even music with the Japanese fully.iIt is bad for PAULA.j The vocal of Paula is very beautiful, and feels to have persuasive power. It sounded like the cello of Jaqes of the back to 'the howl' of the people whom it is suffering from. High sound sounds like the piano of Ryuichi like Dobussy, and it can't bear a fine feeling of drifting. Though there is a tune of 'sabia' of NO5, it is the strongest, and it is left in the heart. Everyone is to listen by all means, too!
