Five GREAT Stars!! This is the late Elis Regina at her very best, singing, scatting, purring, and soaring her way through her only EMI studio session as only she can. Near the end of her life, Elis was pouring it on in this studio session. This session stretches from using huge orchestras and choruses to smaller intimate groups with friends. We can tell this is probably one of her last studio sessions because several songs are the exact songs and arrangements that appear on the live home-recorded "Trem Azul" (The Blue Train) CD, which was the last recording of her work. ("Trem Azul" was remastered from an 8-track recording to a wonderful CD.) The difference between the two CDs is in her vocal delivery and in the inclusion in this CD of other remarkable songs and bonus tracks. That makes both CDs worthy of purchase for inclusion in any comprehensive Elis Regina collection. All singing is in beautiful romantic Portuguese.
Let's get to the "Pieces D'Resistance". The big performance for me is "What Was Really Done" a fiery performance by Elis with Milton Nascimento that ranks among her very best; even her scatting in the background is exciting as Milton whips up his own brand of flames over the rolling beat. In "Get Off It" and "New Season" her voice is a combination of sassiness and poignancy that is matchless, not even by daughter Maria Rita. "Hit The Bullseye" is the type of joyous song that made all of Brazil fall in love with Elis. The single stop hesitations in the song and the sound effect are a real hoot! The title song, "Winds of May" is another huge extravaganza with Elis singing on the upper arc of her voice, as only she can, her voice holding firm. "The Blue Train"is always a bittersweet moment because we know that it was the last recorded song she sang in public before the tragic accident. She purrs her way through "God Only Knows"with a lot of saudade in solo and with the backgound group. In all, a great performance worthy of Five GREAT Stars.
