I used to hear her recordings in my childhood, and it´s like re-newing an old friendship with this excellent disk. I love ´Bachianas Brasileras #5´ most of all (and wonder how it would sound sung by a Counter-tenor?) However, her voice is marvelous, and you won´t go wrong in buying it!. And summed up by saying Bravo Bidu, what a voice!. Currently Bidu Sayao: Opera Arias and Brazilian Folksongs has an overall rating of 10 over 10.

Fausto Cleva claimed Bidú Sayão´s silvery, impeccably tuned voice was small in size, but rich in nuance, shading, and emotion. Her recording of the Villa-Lobos Bachiana Brasileira No. 5 is justly famous, unmatched for lightness and sensuality. Few have dashed off the Jewel Song from Faust with similar insouciance or imbued the last phrases of Manon´s ´Adieu , notre petite table´ as touchingly as Sayão does here. Her French song interpretations glow with charm and style, and a previously unreleased snippet from Ravel´s L´enfant et les sotilèges makes one regret she never recorded the entire role, Sony´s transfers are more lifelike and three dimensional than previous issues. A delectable disc. --Jed Distler
