Lead single “abertura do Circo” and “Beatriz” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. There is so much to love about Chico Buarque, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Chico Buarque was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Chico Buarque and O grande Circo Mistico together. This is my first Chico Buarque Album and i must say i am blown away.
I like the agression and power of Beatriz. The opening track Valsa dos clowns is very much like you would expect from other albums. Voice and instruments in Opereta do casamento complement each other. The first time I listened to A histria de Lily Braun I was struck by its perfect sound. Oremus is absolutely incredible. Meu namorado has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. I was truly moved when I heard Ciranda da Bailarina. Sobre todas as coisas is worth the money. O tatuador is the more seemingly obscure song on O grande Circo Mistico that bear up best to repeated listening. Such hits like A bela e a fera will leave you hooked. O Circo Mstico is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. The sound in Na Carreira is really warm and Chico Buarque’s signature voice is still very much present.
