Amoroso (Italian pronunciation: [amoˈroːzo]) is an album by João Gilberto, released in 1977. [2] It is an album that uses an orchestral arrangement to produce the Brazilian sound of bossa nova. The album features Gilberto on vocals and guitar, backed by a large, but not overpowering, arrangement. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for " Best Jazz Vocal Performance". [3]
The latter four songs were written and composed by fellow bossa nova legend Antônio Carlos Jobim and adapted by Gilberto. The string section was arranged by Claus Ogerman.
The compact disc re-release of the album is paired on a single disc with the 1981 album Brasil, with the Amoroso cover and the tiles of both albums.
