Critical Praise for Cristina Branco
"Ms. Branco rendered sadness in imagistic poetry...with
a voice, high and supple which sounded a bit like Dolly Parton
or Alison Krauss."
- NY Times, Ben Ratliff
"Cristina Branco represents fado's new direction, maintaining
a fine equilibrium between tradition and innovation."
- Billboard, Terry Berne
"Portugal's eminent fado chanteuse, Cristina Branco, has
the kind of voice that makes people weep.
- TIME, Benjamin Nugent
"This is enchantingly elegant music, touching on a near-cosmic
sense of loss and desperation with a stately resignation."
- Barnes & Noble Reviews, Mark Shwartz
"A singer of no uncertain gifts, with an elegance beneath
the inherent plaintive coo."
- Jazz Times
"Cristina Branco stands out...due to her flawless voice,
passionately austere presentation, and her ability to relate
the older tradition to new audiences via an all-acoustic modernity."
- CMJ New Music Report
"The aching vocals and haunted melodies of the gorgeous
Corpo Iluminado will be discovered by those who recognize
remarkable music..."
- Press-Telegram
