Customer Reviews of Ritual
Falls Short of Showcasing Misia's True Talent I discovered Misia's music a few years ago when I bought her album Paixoes Diagonais (based only on a review I read in a magazine). No regrets here! I have since then purchased Garras Dos Sentidos and Misia. She is an extraordinary talent and has an unusual and lovely voice. Unfortunately, her lastest "Ritual" falls way short. Most of the songs are uninspired and each performance sounds the same as the next (there's nothing special in this collection). I agree with the reviewer from "Bawstin" - this recording (for whatever reasons) does not do justice to her voice. I still look forward to her next release and hope it is on par with her past successes. Please skip this one. If you wish to experience Misia buy Paixoes Diagonais and Garras Dos Sentidos - they are so far her best recordings available in the USA.
Doesn't come close to capturing her voice
Misia has a beautiful voice, but you wouldn't know it from this CD.
I bought this CD, with "Fado em mim" by Mariza, and "Corpo Illuminado" by Cristina Branco. This was by far my least favorite of the three, and after a few listenings I put it away.
Months later, when Misia was performing a concert in Boston, I attended with some friends. I wasn't expecting a lot, based on this CD. Instead I was just stunned with her presence, the beauty of her voice, the depth of her emotion. I was enraptured and could have sat there all night. Later, I discussed this with my friends and found that we all felt the same way about the concert and about the recording.
I have no idea why this CD fails to showcase her voice. Perhaps it is the recording technique, perhaps it is the choice of material.
Try the Mariza CD, I don't know anyone who is disappointed with it. And I haven't tried other Misia CDs; they may succeed where this one fails.
But whether you buy this or not, do NOT pass up a chance to see Misia in concert. It will be an experience that you will never forget.
Dramatic, Emotional, Plaintive, Beautiful
Be prepared. This is a woman baring her soul. You don't have to understand the Portugese language to hear this in her voice. This isn't self-pitying, as much as opening up and letting the emotion show.
I can tell you that these songs are fados, but I can't explain what fados are. This is a form of music which I believe has to be heard and experienced, not explained. I have heard other Portugese singers including the form in their CDs, but Misia has a special poignancy in her delivery. Her voice is controlled, but vibrant and highly emotive.
This is world music at its most personal and its best.
