« Quelle famille extraordinaire où le talent, en généreux partage, puise son exubérance dans le pur bonheur de la musique ! Chez les Assad, on chante et l'on joue de la mandoline, de la guitare ou du piano comme on respire et comme on aime. La promesse du thème même de ce récital familial, "un moment de pur amour", n'était pas un miroir aux alouettes. Odair et Sérgio, plus connus sous le titre indistinct des "Frères Assad", virtuoses de la guitare classique et chaleureux interprètes de la musique populaire, se sont cette fois identifiés avec humour, invitant leur sœur Badi à les rejoindre sur scène, elle-même appelant ses nièces, Clarice et Carolina qui convièrent à leur tour le frère de la première, Rodrigo, jusqu'à l'arrivée sur scène, en seconde partie, du patriarche mandoliniste, Jorge, et de la maman, son épouse, la gracile et lumineuse Angelina, dont la voix douce et ardente a chaviré les cœurs. Si l'émotion étreignait l'âme, c'est que sous nos yeux se répétait une profonde histoire d'amour, un passé vibrant de souvenirs dont nous ignorions presque tout mais qui liait intimement ses protagonistes sur la scène, et dont le chant d'Angelina, accompagnée par Jorge et leurs fils, semblait révéler l'intensité. Comme l'a précisé Sérgio, Angelina et Jorge ne sont pas des professionnels, mais ils ont toujours fait de la musique. Et ils ont transmis à leurs enfants et petits-enfants ce même amour complice, comme une évidence, avec simplicité et naturel. Leur entente bouleverse en duos, trios, quintettes, ensembles parfaits et touchants. Ce qui ne nous empêche pas de déceler en chacun l'énergie qui le différencie des autres : la fraternité musicale et rayonnante de Sérgio et Odair, la fougue solaire de Badi que le rythme saisit tout entière dans ses sidérantes percussions vocales, la pétulance incisive de Clarice, chanteuse et pianiste, la douceur troublante de Carolina, la jeunesse vive et envoûtante de Rodrigo, la beauté émouvante et pure du chant d'Angelina et de la mandoline de Jorge. A les écouter, plus forte que jamais, l'envie de vivre autant que de danser, fait battre nos cœurs à la chamade ».
Isabelle Françaix (Bruxelles, le 30 octobre 2004).
I've been a longtime fan of the Assads, but was surprised by my own reaction to this CD. It's really, amazingly good. Track two (Baião de Gude, by Bellinati) is a guitar trio of Sergio, Odair, and Badi, and it is performed with such artistry and enthusiasm that, in my opinion, it's worth the price of the CD all by itself (really, no kidding: I would have gladly paid $20 for a CD single of that one track and felt as if I was being undercharged). Every track is a different line-up of performers and as I listened, I was just marvelling at the talent and energy of this family. Clarice Assad (vocals, vocal arrangements, piano, bass), in particular, was a revelation. If you love Brazilian music, buy this. If you're looking for a straightahead classical recording by the Sergio and Odair Assad, you might be disappointed by this outing (they're alone on only one tune, Gismonti's Baião Malandro), but this album is anything but disappointing.
Amazingly good — December 17, 2005 — Jeffrey D. Kenyon — Amazon.com*****
Who has not heard an incredibly skilled musician and wondered whether his talent is innate or learned? "A Brazilian Songbook" seems to at first address and answer that question, but on deeper reflection, perhaps only fans the flames of the nature versus nurture debate. On this CD, famed classical guitar duo Sérgio and Odair Assad introduce three generations of their family on stage together, performing a representative century of Brazilian music. Sérgio and Odair's best-known sibling, Badi Assad, also enjoys international fame among jazz and world music audiences for her virtuosic guitarwork and innovative singing style which incorporates an unusual scat technique of mouth percussion, and she contributes her signature sounds to this mix. Less well known on this CD are Sérgio and Odair's parents Jorge and Angelina Assad, Sérgio's children Clarice and Rodrigo, and Odair's daughter Carolina. What might seem to a skeptic to be a nepotistic springboard for these aspiring unknowns, upon close listening, "Songbook" is clearly not. The same talent and passion that define the Assad brothers is sincerely infused into the soul of each and every Assad family member. Clarice Assad's composition "Ad Lib" is especially spellbinding, a darting and lightning-paced work featuring Clarice on piano and vocals, with furious guitar accompaniment in parallel by father and uncle. "Ad Lib" is the most provocatively contemporary of tunes in this collection, side-by-side to more traditional Brazilian songs by Pixinguinha, Edu Lobo, Paulo Bellinati, Baden Powell and Egberto Gismonti. Though "A Brazilian Songbook" is disparate in styles between performers and composers, the unifying theme is family. Whether the songs flow from a shared formative experience of musical tradition or a shared genetic makeup may be impossible to know. When the end result is emotionally moving to the listener, as on this CD, that question is probably irrelevant.

Die Klangqualität ist superb, die Live-Atmosphäre ist bestens eingefangen, musikalisch bewegt sich alles, auf hohem Niveau. Ein vergleichbares Unternehmen dürfte in der Musikgeschichte kaum seinesgleichen haben. Darüber hinaus ist „A Brazilian Songbook“ schlicht und ergreifend eine fabelhaft schöne, vielschichtige, eine umwerfend gute Platte. Absolute Empfehlung !
