Title: wonderful, but...
Review: Here, the songs are exquisite and passionate, as advertised. The CD itself, however, is not very adventurous.First, there are just 4 fadistas featured in the 13 selections. Among those left out, in no particular order, just among modern singers: Dulce Pontes, Joana Amendoeira, Margarida Guerreiro, Anabela, Ana Sofia Varela, Ana Lains, Misia, Katia Guerreiro, etc. The list of intriguing, admirable artists from Portugal goes on and on.Second -- this is strictly a personal opinion -- often the songs do not represent the best that these singers have to offer.You won't go very wrong with "Exquisite Passion," but if you're at all familiar with fado, you've probably heard most of the songs on this collection. If you're a newcomer, I think I'd shop around a while before choosing this CD to start out with.
