Description: ARTIST: João GilbertoTITLE: Amoroso LABEL: Warner Bros. Records – 36.022 RECORD GRADING: VG+ SLEEVE GRADING: VG+ NOTES: Original from 1977. Very rare! Great condition. Brazilian press. Amoroso, released in 1977, is one of João Gilberto's most celebrated albums, showcasing his refined, understated style and his skillful integration of bossa nova with elements of jazz and orchestral arrangements. Known as a master of the bossa nova genre, Gilberto's voice on this album is smooth and intimate, paired with delicate guitar lines that create a sense of spaciousness. Produced by Tommy LiPuma and arranged by Claus Ogerman, the album has a lush, cinematic quality that highlights Gilberto’s nuanced approach to melody and rhythm, with Ogerman’s strings adding a sophisticated yet unobtrusive backdrop to Gilberto’s vocals and guitar. The album features interpretations of both Brazilian and American standards, blending Gilberto’s distinct rhythmic phrasing with tenderly crafted arrangements. Tracks like “’S Wonderful” (a Gershwin classic) and “Estate” show his ability to transform well-known songs into something wholly his own, creating a uniquely Brazilian soundscape tinged with international flair. Songs like “Caminhos Cruzados” and “Triste” bring out his bossa nova roots, while his subtle yet expressive delivery on each track emphasizes his remarkable control over tempo and mood. Amoroso is often praised as a definitive work in Brazilian music, with Gilberto’s intricate balance of voice and guitar setting a standard for bossa nova that few others have matched.
