Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.co.uk Review
This gorgeous album of highlights from the Portuguese group Madredeus's impressive catalogue of eight discs is not only a great listen, but a fascinating insight into the evolution of their sound since they formed in the late 1980s. You can hear the extraordinarily plaintive voice of Teresa Salgueiro--equal parts salt and ethereal purity--develop a greater palette of colours, for example, and hear what effect the introduction of synthesisers and keyboards had on the group's direction (they seem to explore the possibilities of slower, more ambient moods). The amazing guitar playing is the constant that threads the tracks together. That aside, this album presents Madredeus doing what they do best--fusing cool Latin-American melodies and harmonies with a sophisticated chamber-music approach to orchestration. Sometimes the music feels like the sort of material a 1990s Astor Piazzolla might be writing, and at others it could be the product of an Argentinean classical minimalist. Melancholy and uplifting, nostalgic and modern, this is a piece of heaven in 17 tracks. --Warwick Thompson

Formed in 1985 in an effort to create a distinctively modern Portuguese sound, Lisbon's Madredeus has crafted a simple yet intricate music, steeped in Portugal's fado tradition yet far-reaching in its intent. Antologia, a chronological overview of Madredeus' exquisite repertoire, includes tracks from the group's debut album and two previously unreleased songs. Led by guitarist Pedro Ayres Magalhces and featuring the stunningly luxurious vocals of Teresa Salgueiro, Madredeus creates music that is pensive yet celebratory, captivating yet elusive, and therein lies its charm. --Robert Kaye
