Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Rent before you buy!
Review: Not enough can be said/done to educate the casual reader about Fado/Amelia Rodrigues within the confines of a review. Thus, let's proceed with the rationale for giving this DVD only 3 stars:

This is a live recording from a concert Amalia Rodrigues gave in the '80's in Japan. The image doesn't seem to look well on the traditional TV's aspect ratio. Japanese captioning adds to the sense of frustration of the non-Japanese viewer. Amalia's performance is rather ordinary, and camera work and sound are barely acceptable as presented on the disc. If the producer of this DVD had done more than to transfer from a Japanese master video tape straight on DVD it would be too bad for his effort since it doesn't show.

Too bad for those who approach(ed) this edition with an above-average sense of anticipation; disappointment looms around...
