Global Rhythm live review "ended with a round of thunderous applause"
Ernest Barteldes of Global Rhythm praises Ana Moura's performance at Peter Norton Symphony Space:
"She sang with great emotion, relating her affair with fado and how it slowly crept into her heart, making her one of its interpreters.
One of the concert's highlights came when New York saxophonist Tim Ries joined Moura onstage for "Velho Anjo." A touching ballad he co-wrote with guitarist Jorge Fernando, Reis added a heartfelt, Michael Brecker-inspired solo to the melody. Another great moment came when Moura performed "Até ao Fim do Fim" (Until The End of Times), a song in which two lovers realize there is no love between them any more, as a duet with guitarist Freire...
Ries, who helmed the Rolling Stones Project, a tribute to the band that includes artists John Scofield, Charlie Watts, Sheryl Crow, Norah Jones, and Luciana Souza, returned to the stage for the encore, a slow rendition of "No Expectations."...The performance closed with "A Casa de Mariquinha" ("Mariquinha's House"), a traditional fado piece that ended the night with a round of thunderous applause."
