Emotional Reviews
"Os Dias da Madredeus" 1987
"Existir"
1990
"O Espirito da
Paz" 1994 "...In all the compositions, the
analysis of the most inner ego (the feelings of guilt, sadness
and love) brings to the discovery of the universal
characteristics of umanity, and the contemplation of reality (the
sun, the sea, the war), brings to the discovery of our most
deeper feelings..."
"Ainda" 1995 "...The themes
of the songs are loose as notes of a failed poet. Ainda actually
is a series of personal notes on Lisboa written by one of its
inhabitants. But the fact that this notes are so loose, makes me
think that the inhabitant has become a voyager which discovers
for the first time the city and its secrets... Personally I see
Ainda as a failed attempt to undestand something
incomprehensible..."
"O
Paraiso" 1997 "...You are not a road, you are
an enourmous square which looks at the sea, at the sky, at the
city and at the people who walk on it. As in every square there
are many palaces which are spectators to the human stories that
goes on in front of them, but if Ainda was that palaces, you, O
Paraiso, are in the stories of that people, in their soul, in the
contorsions caused in them by their feelings..."
"O Porto" 1998
"...O
Porto contains the music of O Paraiso in its living shape. That
music acquires life from its temporary existence in time and
space. The music is for this reason much more spontaneous, lays
in time like a monologue, a dialogue, flexible and movable. The
songs get life from the hint of improvisation hidden in the
executions, from the choices made for that particular
stage..."
